After critical reports about the human rights situation in the Chinese Uyghur region of Xinjiang, investors are withdrawing from Volkswagen. The fund company Deka Investment has apparently thrown out all VW shares from its investment products with a focus on sustainability after a critical assessment by the US rating agency MSCI. “From our point of view, Volkswagen can no longer be invested in when it comes to sustainable financial products,” she said business week Deka Sustainability Manager Ingo Speich. MSCI said in a November 4 report that there were “allegations of forced labor in Volkswagen’s operations.” MSCI confirmed the report.
