Overview

  • KLP sold NOK 19 million of Oshkosh shares and NOK 10 million of Thyssenkrupp shares under its responsible investment guidelines.
  • The divestment follows a June 2024 review sparked by UN reports that weapons from both companies were used by Israeli forces in Gaza.
  • Thyssenkrupp delivered four Sa’ar 6 warships to the Israeli navy between November 2020 and May 2021 and plans to supply a submarine later this year.
  • Oshkosh confirmed that it has sold and continues to sell vehicles and parts used by the Israeli military for armoured troop transport.
  • Norway’s $1.6 trillion Government Pension Fund Global faces mounting calls to divest from firms linked to Israel’s Gaza war and West Bank settlements.
