American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)
The provided material does not indicate that the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is currently under discussion by councils.
While the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is described as a Quaker organisation that may maintain lists relevant to divestment, the supplied council material does not explicitly mention AFSC. However, Tower Hamlets Council's Pension Committee recently discussed the financial implications of divesting from companies implicated in human rights abuses.
A report presented to the committee on September 15, 2026, warned that while excluding companies on the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNOHCHR) database might have a minimal effect, broader exclusions based on other specified lists could significantly impact the pension fund's risk and return profile.
