We are researching a campaign on corporate divestment, which we will implement if human rights conditions do not improve and the situation clearly warrants such action.
See the list of companies with investments in Honduras below.
In the meantime, if you have investments, please make sure they are placed responsibly, with companies and in countries that guarantee fundamental human rights, including the right to freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, justice and nonrepetition, prior consultation, as required by ILO 169, and the basic right to life.
