Structural Complicity:
Sexual and gender-based violence as an emerging investment risk
“Time’s Up”… #MeToo … allegations of abusive behavior by corporate chiefs … the groundswell of public attention to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is revealing how pervasive it is at all levels of society, in all industries. From an investor’s perspective, the burgeoning movement to root out abuse raises the question of whether capital markets participants might be complicit in its persistence.
It also raises the possibility that issues related to SGBV might evolve into a material financial risk for companies that don’t take appropriate action.
With this report we launch an inquiry into how investors might better understand SGBV and contribute to a solution, as well as examine what kinds of data would generate useful insights.
