Abstract

Following the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, many investors responded by unloading their Russian sovereign debt holdings. However, data from Bloomberg show that at the time of the 24 February Russian invasion of Ukraine, ESG funds – investment funds pursuing environmental, social and governance goals – still held at least $8.3 billion in Russian assets;1 and while more than a thousand companies have curtailed their Russian operations and over 500 are holding off on new investments in the wake of Russia’s invasion,2 investors have been accused of being ‘missing in action’.3

行动中失踪?投资者对乌克兰战争的反应
2014年俄罗斯吞并克里米亚后,许多投资者纷纷抛售其持有的俄罗斯主权债务。然而,彭博社的数据显示,在2月24日俄罗斯入侵乌克兰时,ESG基金——追求环境、社会和治理目标的投资基金——仍持有至少83亿美元的俄罗斯资产;1尽管在俄罗斯入侵后,1000多家公司缩减了在俄罗斯的业务,500多家公司推迟了新的投资,但2名投资者被指控“行动中失踪”。3

期刊介绍: The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) provides an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the intersection of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It seeks to advance the academic discussion on business and human rights as well as promote concern for human rights in business practice. BHRJ strives for the broadest possible scope, authorship and readership. Its scope encompasses interface of any type of business enterprise with human rights, environmental rights, labour rights and the collective rights of vulnerable groups. The Editors welcome theoretical, empirical and policy / reform-oriented perspectives and encourage submissions from academics and practitioners in all global regions and all relevant disciplines. A dialogue beyond academia is fostered as peer-reviewed articles are published alongside shorter ‘Developments in the Field’ items that include policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces.
