In 2015, it was the fastest growing divestment movement ever reported<sup>2<\/sup>.

There is a question of what it means to divest in fossil fuels \u2013 does such mean divesting in any company that significantly pollutes? Any company that directly profits off environmental destruction? Any hedge fund that does not openly commit to activist investing?<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge\u00a0that arises is the financial and ethical impacts of such investment restrictions \u2013 How financially important are fossil-fuel portfolios? Does divestment have a meaningful industry impact? How does it impact 性视界\u2019s image? What ethical value may exist? These questions have been hotly debated among the community, with certain key positions that have formed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry Debate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A principle methodology for divesting in fossil fuels originated from the University of Toronto in direct response to internationally agreed climate goals set by the 2015 Paris Agreement. The university argued for \u201ctargeted and principled divestment from companies in the fossil-fuels industry that meet certain criteria\u2026[including companies] that blatantly disregard the international effort to limit the rise in average global temperatures to not more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial averages by 2050.\u201d<sup>9<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Exhibit-3-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10136 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Exhibit-3-2.png\" alt=\"exhibit-3\" width=\"472\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a>Using these metrics, various positions from the investment community have been taken. From a financial standpoint, some investors have argued that fossil-fuels investment, independent of moral implications, is unwise. Financial policy experts with HSBC and the Bank of England<sup>10 <\/sup>have submitted that valuations of fossil-fuel industries are over-inflated due to lack of correction for stranded fossil-fuel assets that are unusable due to their environmental costs, creating a \u201cCarbon Bubble\u201d. A recent study<sup>11<\/sup> also cautioned that stigmatization caused by divestment movements increases volatility and \u201cuncertainty surrounding the future cash flows of fossil-fuel companies.\u201d Indeed, one analysis from an investment firm that offers fossil fuel-free funds<sup>12<\/sup> assessed that 性视界\u2019s coal, oil and gas stocks lost $21 million between 2012-2015 when the Divest 性视界 movement began.<\/p>\n<p>Others have taken opposing viewpoints. A study funded by the petroleum industry<sup>13<\/sup> calculated that 性视界 would lose $108 million each year it divested from fossil fuels, arguing that divestment hurts an institution\u2019s ability to diversify its portfolio. Supporting that position, a study by the former Dean of the University of Chicago Law School<sup>14<\/sup> calculated that the average portfolio would forego 0.5% in annual returns by ruling out oil, gas and coal companies. Even still, some asset managers have calculated that the economic risks of divestment from fossil fuel companies are \u201cstatistically irrelevant\u201d<sup>15<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, regardless of financial impact, a common opinion held by the community including 性视界 President Drew Faust has been that the question of moral transgression is moot because \u201cdivestment is likely to have negligible financial impact on the affected companies\u201d.<sup>16<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Divestment Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taken together, this discourse has led 性视界 Corporation to ignore calls for divestment. But I submit a key long-term risk factor 性视界 has miscalculated in its investment decision is the impact on its brand. Beyond following the morally appropriate action, 性视界\u2019s reputation will come in serious question if it does not divest.<\/p>\n<p>The question of fossil-fuels divestment transcends debates of immediate financial impacts on investors or fossil-fuel companies. Fossil-fuels investment is a question of profit off an industry with enormous unethical externalities\u2014externalities that those privileged with elite educations and loudspeakers have a duty to lead the world away from, not be complicit in. The challenge is that the ethical dilemma fossil fuels pose can be lost through deceptive degrees of separation. But ultimately, the most vulnerable pay profound direct, though delayed, costs of climate change. As a NYT report on Bangladesh revealed<sup>17<\/sup>, this issue has directly led to disappearing farmlands and economic conditions where mothers have been selling their children into servitude to ensure they do not starve. The more we invest in companies that have an edge on cheap, dirty and unregulated operations, the more they invest in ways to grow their\u00a0business model. Like was the case with slavery, there is a direct moral duty to not be a part of that if even in small, \u201cnegligible\u201d ways. But unlike slavery, the costs of such myopathy may be too great to reverse.
