Advisors have been appointed by a pension fund to look at investments relating to climate change and human rights.
Cllr Pat Cleary, who chairs Wirral Council’s pensions committee, said this was to create a “clear process” and “robust responsible framework” when dealing with the local government Merseyside Pension Fund’s investments.
Discussions around investments for the pension fund began in 2021 after a question was raised by a councillor relating to companies allegedly trading in occupied Palestinian territories and the pension fund’s relationship with them.
