The Labour Rights Investor Network (LRIN) side event at PRI: Supporting investor stewardship on trade union rights
Wednesday, October 9th, 2024 | 8:00am – 9:30am EST

Room 711, MTCC, South Building 222 Bremner Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 3L9, Canada

The Global Unions’ Committee on Workers’ Capital (CWC) invites PRI in Person participants to a breakfast session on the Labour Rights Investor Network (LRIN).

The LRIN was launched in 2023 to support a growing number of investors who recognize the importance of effective labour rights stewardship. With more investors seeking guidance in navigating the risks and seizing the benefits associated with workers’ rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining, the LRIN has since grown to a network of over 40 institutional investors with almost USD $3.7 trillion under advice and management.

This session will provide investors with an overview of our global platform for education and exchange on freedom of association and collective bargaining. Drawing on case studies such as Tesla and Starbucks, participants will join trade unions and investors in a discussion about why violations of workers’ rights are an issue of importance for investors and how they can effectively engage portfolio companies on labour risks.

Speakers include:

• John Adler, Chief ESG Officer, Office of the New York City Comptroller, USA
• Kiran Aziz, Head of Responsible Investments, KLP Asset Management, Norway
• Delaney Greig, Director of Investor Stewardship, University Pension Plan, Canada
• Aleksandar (Sasa) Zuza, Researcher, IF METALL, Sweden (Tesla)

The LRIN is an initiative of the CWC, which is housed at the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) in Canada.

Seating for this event is limited. Please register in advance to confirm your place and notify us of any dietary restrictions.
