Dear All
Some of you may have seen the 'Ethics for USS' campaign featured in the
THES. This campaign aims to prevent USS investing in environmentally
damaging companies and those which export arms to oppressive regimes. USS
currently has £300million invested in Shell. As a final salary scheme,
movement away from these companies won't affect our pension entitlements.
USS have acknowledged that they are legally able to adopt an ethical
investment policy.
