NEW YORK, NY — The International Labor Organization (ILO) issued its Blue Report last week, which is a draft Convention and Recommendations related to decent work in the platform economy. As investors, we (members of Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility – ICCR) believe the goal of negotiations should be clear: to adopt a Convention and Recommendation that protects workers, and thus helps mitigate operational, legal, and reputational risks, which helps investors, fulfill their fiduciary duty to manage long-term value and protect assets.
…Following this release, ICCR issued an Investor Statement in Support of a Binding Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy, supported by 200 investors representing over $2.3 trillion in assets under management and advisement.
Fr Seamus Finn, Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the U.S. Province
“Respect for human dignity in work contributes to a successful economic system. Pope Leo himself has placed a strong emphasis on the ‘defense of human dignity, justice and labor’ and has been open about his concerns about the impacts that modern technologies can have on the lives and safety of workers around the world. These concerns will only grow more pressing as technologies that impact the workforce proliferate and platform workers become an ever-increasing share of the global workforce. It is essential global organizations meant to protect the rights and dignity of workers keep these concerns in mind.”
