“By divesting from nuclear weapon producers, we can make it harder for those that profit from weapons of mass destruction and encourage them to cut the production of nuclear weapons from their business strategies”.
Beatrice Fihn, Director of ICAN (foreword to the 2018 Don’t Bank on the Bomb Report)
The aim of divestment is to give companies an incentive to stop producing nuclear weapons. More broadly, divestment increases the stigma associated with nuclear weapons and undermines the legitimacy of arguments that are used to justify nuclear arsenals.
