DTU's Investments

In addition to directly collaborating with universities and defense companies, DTU is also implicated in the oppression of Palestinians through its investment portfolio. We have investigated DTU's financial activity and identified several cases of investments being made in companies which have a known contribution to the occupation. By making these investments DTU is supporting companies that profit from helping to maintain the Israeli apartheid system, thus subsequently contributing to human rights violations against Palestinians which makes the university complicit in these activities. In the pages below we document our findings and also provide access to the tool we used for identifying the investments to empower others to do the same at other institutions. We believe that DTU should review all existing investments, remove those which are related to companies involved in perpetuating human rights violations, and implement a clear ethical investment policy to prevent these investments from being made in the future.
