Dear Friend --

The treaty has teeth, and it's taking a bite out of the bank accounts of the companies behind nuclear weapons. Investors behind $3.9 trillion in assets say the TPNW is why they’re saying no to nuclear weapons.

More than 101 financial institutions have public policies against nuclear weapon related investments, as reported in the latest PAX and ICAN Don’t Bank on the Bomb report “Rejecting Risk: 101 policies against nuclear weapons”.

Read the report

As Larry Fink wrote in his 2022 Letter to CEOs, “access to capital is not a right. It is a privilege.”, and these institutions are revoking that privilege from the nuclear weapons industry.

The report showcases 59 investors with comprehensive policies preventing any money from getting into the nuclear weapons industry. Based in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States, they are investing for the future, not in nuclear weapons.

Others profiled in the report have public policies which are not as comprehensive. These Runners-Up should all be congratulated for recognising there is a problem with investing in the nuclear weapons industry, and encouraged to close the loopholes in the policies, so they might move up to the Hall of Fame.

There’s still a long way to go, as this is only a small part of the broader financial sector. Nevertheless, we’d love your help congratulating the good guys, and sharing this report.

Thank you,

Susi Snyder
