Norway's largest private pension fund, KLP, has divested its $69 million stake in Caterpillar Inc. due to concerns that the US company may be contributing to human rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza. The decision was influenced by reports that Caterpillar's equipment is being used by the Israeli military for the construction of illegal settlements and other violations of international law. KLP's head of responsible investments, Kiran Aziz, stated that Caterpillar has long supplied equipment used to demolish Palestinian homes and infrastructure, facilitating the expansion of Israeli settlements.
