Active ownership pays off
Aktivt eierskap bærer frukter
Active ownership activities in Monsanto Co. have contributed to a significant reduction in the use of child labour in the company’s hybrid cotton seed production in India.
Aktivt eierskap i selskapet Monsanto Co. har bidratt til en betydelig reduksjon i bruken av barnearbeid i selskapets bomullsfrøproduksjon i India.
Norges Bank can still play an important role in achieving further improvements.
Norges Bank kan fortsette å spille en viktig rolle for å oppnå videre forbedring.
The Ministry of Finance has therefore decided not to exclude Monsanto Co. from the portfolio of the Government Pension Fund - Global.
Finansdepartementet har derfor besluttet ikke å utelukke Monsanto Co. fra investeringsuniverset til Statens pensjonsfond - Utland.
Norges Bank’s active ownership activities in Monsanto Co. have contributed to a significant reduction in the use of child labour in the company’s hybrid cotton seed production in India.
Norges Banks aktive eierskap i selskapet Monsanto Co. har bidratt til en betydelig reduksjon i bruken av barnearbeid i selskapets bomullsfrøproduksjon i India.
In November 2006, the Council on Ethics recommended that the Ministry of Finance should exclude Monsanto Co. from the investment universe of the GPFG.
I november 2006 rådet Etikkrådet Finansdepartementet å utelukke Monsanto Co. fra SPUs investeringsunivers.
– I therefore want Norges Bank to continue, as an active owner, to continue to engage with Monsanto for purposes of combating the worst forms of child labour within the company’s hybrid cotton seed production in India, says the Minister of Finance.
Jeg ønsker derfor at Norges Bank som aktiv eier skal fortsette samarbeidet med Monsanto for å bekjempe grove former for barnearbeid, sier finansminister Kristin Halvorsen.
Norges Bank has reported on plans for, and, thereafter, the outcome of, its exercise of ownership rights through meetings and correspondence with the Ministry of Finance during 2007 and the first half of 2008.
Norges Bank har rapportert om planer for og deretter resultater av eierskapsutøvelsen gjennom møter og korrespondanse med Finansdepartementet i løpet av 2007 og første halvdel av 2008.
In its contact with Monsanto, the Bank emphasises its expectation that there shall be continuous improvement in the conditions of children involved in the hybrid cotton seed production.
I kontakten med Monsanto legger banken vekt på at det skal skje en konstant forbedring i forholdene for barn i selskapets virksomhet.
At the same time the company should further improve safety for its workers in general, and verify its child labour and safety performance through improved monitoring procedures.
Samtidig må selskapet ytterligere forbedre sikkerheten for sine arbeidere generelt og verifisere resultatene for barnearbeid og sikkerhet gjennom bedre overvåkningsrutiner.
Norges Bank has, in parallel with the dialogue pursued with Monsanto, taken an initiative to establish cooperation between several multinational companies within the hybrid cotton- and vegetable seed production in India.
Parallelt med dialogen med Monsanto, har Norges Bank tatt initiativ til et samarbeid mellom flere multinasjonale selskaper innen bomulls- og grønnsaksfrøproduksjon.
Norges Bank takes the view that a joint standard for multinational companies will be the most effective instrument for purposes of achieving continued improvements.
Norges Bank anser at en felles standard for de multinasjonale selskapene er det mest effektive virkemiddelet for å få til fortsatte forbedringer.
It further believes that Norges Bank as an investor is uniquely well-placed to facilitate such a process.
De anser videre at Norges Bank som investor er i en unik posisjon til å tilrettelegge en slik prosess.
An initial meeting between several companies, including Monsanto Co., was held in June this year.
Det ble gjennomført et første møte mellom flere selskaper, inkludert Monsanto Co., i juni i år.
The Council on Ethics has, on its part, conducted its own survey of the recent situation in various parts of Monsanto's cotton seed production in India.
Etikkrådet har på sin side gjennomført egne undersøkelser av situasjonen ved ulike ledd i Monsantos bomullsfrøproduksjon i India den siste tiden.
The Council is aware of the efforts pursued by the Bank, and has taken these into consideration in its latest recommendation to the Ministry.
Rådet er kjent med det arbeidet banken gjør og har tatt dette i betraktning i sin siste anbefaling til departementet.
The Council on Ethics concludes, inter alia, as follows in its letter of 10 June 2008 to the Ministry of Finance:
I brev til Finansdepartementet 10. juni 2008 konkluderer Etikkrådet bl.a. som følger:
”The Council’s assessment is that the detected violations in this case must be considered ongoing and, seen in isolation, deemed to count as “the worst forms of child labour”, and thus as grave violations which, in principle, qualify for exclusion from the Fund’s investment universe.
”Rådets vurdering er at de påviste normbruddene i denne saken må anses som pågående og isolert sett anses å kvalifisere som ”de verste former for barnearbeid”, og dermed som grove normbrudd som i utgangspunktet kvalifiser til utelukkelse av selskapet fra fondets investeringsunivers.
At the same time, the Council on Ethics finds that Monsanto has achieved considerable improvements, particularly within certain geographical areas, when it comes to reducing the occurrence of child labour use.”
Samtidig anser Etikkrådet at Monsanto har oppnådd betydelige forbedringer, særlig innenfor enkelte geografiske områder, når det gjelder å redusere omfanget av bruken av barnearbeid.”
Furthermore, the Council states that the role of Norges Bank in the improvement effort is of particular importance, not least because no other investors are engaged with the company on these issues at present.
Videre sier rådet at Norges Banks rolle i forbedringsarbeidet er særlig viktig, ikke minst fordi ingen andre investorer per i dag er i dialog med selskapet om disse spørsmålene.
Both Norges Bank and the Council on Ethics will closely monitor future developments.
Både Norges Bank og Etikkrådet vil følge den videre utviklingen nøye framover.
