Amnesty NZ cuts ties with ASB over its investments in Motorola Solutions, linked to Israel’s West Bank settlements.
Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand has ended its banking relationship with ASB over the bank’s continued investment in Motorola Solutions, a company linked to Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank.
The UN identifies Motorola as supporting these settlements, which are tied to human rights violations and may constitute crimes against humanity.
Despite evidence and repeated appeals, ASB has not divested, with its KiwiSaver funds holding at least $18 million in the company.
Amnesty argues this contradicts international human rights standards and ethical investment principles, reflecting a global trend of institutions reassessing ties to controversial activities.
The decision underscores growing pressure on financial institutions to align investments with human rights commitments.
