Responsible Investment in Times of Conflict: The Social Implications

On March 29, 2022, Heartland’s Sam Jones participated in a panel discussion with the PRI to examine the social and human rights implications of conflict. The panel addressed the challenges responsible investors face when considering social issues in conflict-affected areas, as well as how they can collaborate with stakeholders, civil society, and peers to promote responsible investment during such times.

Sam was joined by esteemed colleagues: Jessie Cato (Natural Resources & Human Rights Program Manager – Business and Human Rights Resource Centre), Gerald Pachoud (Managing Partner, Pluto Advisory), Anita Ramasastry (Henry M. Jackson Professor of Law and the Director of the Sustainable International Development Graduate Program – University of Washington School of Law), and Bettina Reinboth (Director of Human Rights and Social Issues – PRI).
