The Council on Ethics recommended to exclude
Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corp
Formosa Taffeta Co Ltdbecause of alleged human rights violations related to textile production in Vietnam
andPage Industries Ltd ：
due to alleged human rights violations related to textile production in India.
In addition, the Executive Board has decided to follow the company
PetroChina Ltd’s :
work on anti-corruption as part of the fund’s active ownership efforts over a period of three years.
The Council on Ethics has recommended to exclude the company.
According to the guidelines, Norges Bank shall consider whether other measures, including the exercise of ownership rights, may be more suited to reduce the risk of continued norm violations, or whether such alternative measures may be more appropriate for other reasons.
The Executive Board concludes that active ownership in this case is more suitable.
The company has been under observation since 2017 following a recommendation from the Council on Ethics in 2016 to exclude the company.
The Executive Board
agrees with the Council on Ethics that observation no longer seems to be the appropriate action as the company is not responding to enquires from the Council.The Executive Board considers active ownership an alternative.
The fund has regular dialogue with companies on anti-corruption issues, and can benefit from that experience in a dialogue with PetroChina Co Ltd.”
