Knowing what you own is the first step to aligning your investments with your values. You may be inadvertently invested in military occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide, or other grave human rights violations. The Investigate database includes more than 200 companies and is the most trusted source on divestment for Palestinian rights.
In 2005, the largest-ever coalition of Palestinian civil society organizations called on international civil society to "implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era." In 2008, the American Friends Service Committee responded by divesting from the Israeli occupation. Ever since, we have curated the divestment shortlist for the Palestinian-led BDS movement and have supported dozens of institutional divestment initiatives and hundreds of divestment campaigns in the United States and around the world.
Investigate is a research and information center that offers investment screens, company profiles, and industry analyses for institutional and private investors, activists, and advocacy groups.
Our research focuses on companies involved in Israeli military occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide, or other grave human rights violations, in support of the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Investigate is a project of the American Friends Service Committee Action Center for Corporate Accountability.
