    Birmingham University accused of weakening restrictions on investing in arms companies

    The University of Birmingham is accused of weakening its restrictions on investing in arms companies by replacing a policy that aimed to minimize such investments with new 'investment principles' focusing on financially material ESG factors. The updated policy, adopted in 2022, requires considering ESG issues but removes specific exclusion criteria for companies involved in weapons systems, cluster munitions, and anti-personnel landmines.
