Ngaphambili kwemihlangano yomphakathi ye-Canada Public Pension Investment Board's (CPPIB) ebanjwa kabili ngonyaka kulokhu kuwa, lezi zinhlangano ezilandelayo zibeka lesi sitatimende zibiza i-CPPIB ngokutshala imali kwayo okulimazayo: Abameli Bokuthula Nje, World BEYOND War, I-Mining Injustice Solidarity Network, I-Canadian BDS Coalition, I-MiningWatch eCanada
Ngeke sime singenzi lutho ngenkathi ukongiwa komhlalaphansi kwabantu baseCanada abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-21 kuxhasa inkinga yesimo sezulu, impi, kanye nokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu emhlabeni wonke ngegama elithi “ukwakha ukuphepha kwethu kwezezimali lapho sithatha umhlalaphansi.” Eqinisweni, lezi zimali ezitshaliwe zonakalisa ikusasa lethu kunokuba zilivikele. Sekuyisikhathi sokuhlukana nezinkampani ezenza inzuzo ngempi, ezephula amalungelo abantu, eziqhuba ibhizinisi nemibuso yengcindezelo, zilimaze izimiso zemvelo ezibalulekile, futhi sandise ukusetshenziswa kwezibaseli ezimbiwa phansi ezibhubhisa isimo sezulu– futhi siphinde sitshale imali emhlabeni ongcono.
Ingemuva Nomongo
Ngokusho the I-Canada Public Pension Investment Board Act, i-CPPIB idingeka “ukuba itshale izimpahla zayo ngombono wokuthola isilinganiso esiphezulu sembuyiselo, ngaphandle kwengozi engadingekile yokulahlekelwa.” Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMthetho udinga ukuthi i-CPPIB “ilawule noma yimaphi amanani adluliselwe kuyo… ukuze kuzuze abanikelayo nabazuzi….” Izintshisekelo ezinhle zabantu baseCanada zidlula ukukhulisa imbuyiselo yezimali yesikhashana. Ukuvikeleka komhlalaphansi kwabantu baseCanada kudinga izwe elingenayo impi, elisekela ukuzibophezela kweCanada kumalungelo abantu kanye nentando yeningi, futhi eligcina isimo sezulu esizinzile ngokukhawulela ukushisa komhlaba ku-1.5 degrees Celsius. Njengomunye wabaphathi bempahla abakhulu kakhulu emhlabeni, i-CPPIB idlala indima enkulu ekutheni i-Canada nomhlaba yakha ikusasa elinobulungiswa, elibandakanya wonke umuntu, elingakhiphi khithi, noma yehlela phambili ezinxushunxushwini zezomnotho, udlame, ingcindezelo, nezinxushunxushu zesimo sezulu.
Ngeshwa, i-CPPIB ikhethe ukugxila kuphela “ekutholeni isilinganiso esiphezulu sembuyiselo” futhi yaziba “intshisekelo ehamba phambili yabanikeli nabazuzi.”
Njengoba kunjena, utshalomali oluningi lwe-CPPIB ngokwalo alubazuzisi abantu baseCanada. Lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali akusizi nje kuphela ukugcina izimboni, ezifana nemboni kaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi nabakhiqizi bezikhali, zisasebenza, futhi kuvimbela inqubekelaphambili futhi zinikeze ilayisense yezenhlalo kumandla abhubhisayo emhlabeni jikelele. Ngokomthetho, i I-CPPIB ibophezelekile kuhulumeni wesifundazwe nowezifundazwe, hhayi abanikeli nabazuzi, futhi imiphumela eyinhlekelele yalokhu iba sobala ngokwandayo.
Yini i-CPP etshalwe kuyo?
Qaphela: zonke izibalo ngama-Canadian Dollars.
Izibaseli Zezinsalela
Ngenxa yobukhulu nomthelela wayo, izinqumo zokutshalwa kwezimali ze-CPPIB zidlala indima enkulu ekutheni i-Canada nomhlaba ingaguqukela ngokushesha kangakanani emnothweni we-zero-carbon ngenkathi iqhubeka nokukhulisa impesheni yabantu baseCanada phakathi nenkinga yesimo sezulu esibi. I-CPPIB iyavuma ukuthi ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kubangela ubungozi obukhulu kuphothifoliyo yayo yokutshala imali kanye nomnotho womhlaba. Kodwa-ke, i-CPPIB ingumtshali-zimali omkhulu ekwandiseni uphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi kanye nomnikazi omkhulu wezimpahla zikaphethiloli, futhi ayinalo uhlelo oluthembekile lokuvumelanisa iphothifoliyo yayo nokuzibophezela kweCanada ngaphansi kweSivumelwano SaseParis sokunciphisa izinga lokushisa emhlabeni wonke libe ngu-1.5°C.
NgoFebhuwari 2022, i-CPPIB yamemezela ukuzibophezela kukho ukuzuza ukukhishwa kwe-net-zero ngo-2050. I-CPPIB isebenzisa amathuluzi nezinqubo eziyinkimbinkimbi ukuhlola nokulawula ubungozi bezezimali bokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu futhi eminyakeni yamuva nje ikhulise kakhulu ukutshalwa kwezimali kwayo ezixazululweni zesimo sezulu, ngezinhlelo ezifisa ukutshala imali eyengeziwe. Isibonelo, i-CPPIB itshale imali ngaphezulu $ 10 billion kumandla avuselelekayo kuphela, futhi utshale imali yelanga, umoya, ukugcina amandla, izimoto zikagesi, amabhondi aluhlaza, izakhiwo eziluhlaza, ezolimo ezisimeme, i-hydrogen eluhlaza kanye nobunye ubuchwepheshe obuhlanzekile emhlabeni wonke.
Naphezu kokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu ezisombululweni zesimo sezulu kanye nemizamo yokugxilisa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kuhlelo lwayo lokutshala izimali, i-CPPIB iyaqhubeka nokutshala izigidigidi zamadola aseCanada omhlalaphansi kwingqalasizinda kaphethiloli kanye nezinkampani ezibhebhezela ubunzima besimo sezulu - ngingenanhloso yokuyeka. Kusukela ngoJulayi 2022, i-CPPIB yayinayo $ 21.72 billion itshalwe kubakhiqizi bezinto ezimbiwa phansi kuphela. I-CPPIB inakho ekhethiwe ngokucacile ukuba itshalwe ngokweqile ezinkampanini zikawoyela negesi, ikhulise amasheya ayo kulezi zinto ezingcolisa isimo sezulu ngokuthi 7.7% phakathi kokusayinwa kweCanada isivumelwano saseParis ngo-2016 no-2020. Futhi i-CPPIB ayinikezi nje ngezimali futhi ibe namasheya ezinkampanini zikaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi– ezikhathini eziningi, imenenja yempesheni kazwelonke yaseCanada ingumnikazi wabakhiqizi bakawoyela negesi, amapayipi egesi yezintombiwa phansi, amalahle- kanye nezikhungo eziphehla ugesi ezisebenza ngegesi, iziteshi zikaphethiloli, izizinda zegesi ezingasogwini, izinkampani zamafeki kanye nezinkampani zikaloliwe ezithutha amalahle. Naphezu kokuzibophezela kwayo ekukhishweni kwe-net-zero, i-CPPIB iyaqhubeka nokutshala imali futhi ixhase ngezimali ukunwetshwa kukaphethiloli wezinsalela. Isibonelo, i-Teine Energy, inkampani yangasese kawoyela negesi engu-90% ephethwe yi-CPPIB, kumemezela ngoSepthemba 2022 ukuthi izosebenzisa imali efinyelela ezigidini ezingama-US$400 ukuthenga amahektha ayi-95,000 omhlaba okhiqiza uwoyela negesi e-Alberta, kanye nempahla ekhiqiza uwoyela negesi kanye namapayipi angu-1,800 km, enkampanini kawoyela negesi yaseSpain iRepsol. Okuxakayo ukuthi imali izosetshenziswa yi-Respol ukukhokhela ukuhamba kwayo kumandla avuselelekayo.
Abaphathi be-CPPIB kanye nebhodi labaqondisi nabo bangene shi embonini kaphethiloli. Kusukela Mashi 31, 2022, amalungu amathathu kwayi-11 amanje e-CPPIB ibhodi labaqondisi bangabaphathi noma abaqondisi bezinkampani zezinkampani zikaphethiloli, kuyilapho abaphathi bokutshalwa kwezimali abangu-15 kanye nabasebenzi abakhulu ku-CPPIB babambe izindima ezihlukene eziyi-19 nezinkampani ezihlukene eziyi-12 ezihlukene zikaphethiloli. Abanye abathathu Abaqondisi Bebhodi le-CPPIB banobudlelwane obuqondile ne IRoyal Bank yaseCanada, umxhasi omkhulu wezimali waseCanada wezinkampani zamafutha ezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi. Futhi ilungu lesikhathi eside leqembu le-CPPIB's Global Leadership lishiye umsebenzi walo ngo-April ukuze abe ngumongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, iqembu eliyinhloko lokwamukela izivakashi embonini kawoyela negesi yase-Canada.
Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nendlela ye-CPPIB engcupheni yesimo sezulu kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kumafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi, bona lokhu inothi elifushane kusukela ku-Shift Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health. Kufaka phakathi isampula yohlu lwemibuzo ehlobene nesimo sezulu ongase uthande ukuyibuza i-CPPIB emihlanganweni yomphakathi yango-2022. Ungakwazi futhi thumela incwadi kubaphathi be-CPPIB namalungu ebhodi esebenzisa ama-Shift ithuluzi lesenzo se-inthanethi.
I-Complex Industrial Complex
Ngokwezinombolo ezisanda kukhishwa embikweni wonyaka we-CPPIB i-CPP njengamanje itshala imali ezinkampanini eziyi-9 zezikhali eziphezulu emhlabeni ezingama-25 (ngokusho lolu hlu). Ngempela, kusukela ngo-March 31 2022, i-Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has lezi zimali kubadayisi bezikhali bomhlaba abangama-25 abaphambili:
- I-Lockheed Martin - inani lemakethe $76 million CAD

Ngenkathi i-CPPIB itshala imali eyongiwe kazwelonke yaseCanada ezinkampanini zezikhali, izisulu zempi kanye nezakhamuzi emhlabeni wonke zikhokha inani lempi futhi lezi zinkampani zenza inzuzo. Ngokwesibonelo, ngaphezu Ababaleki abayizigidi ezingama-12 babalekela Ukraine kulo nyaka, ngaphezu Izakhamizi ze-400,000 baye babulawa eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yempi eYemen, futhi okungenani 20 izingane zasePalestine babulawa eWest Bank kusukela kuqale u-2022. Khonamanjalo, izinkampani zezikhali lapho i-CPPIB itshalwe khona imali zimatasatasa. qopha izigidigidi enzuzweni. Abantu baseCanada abanikela futhi bahlomule Ohlelweni Lwempesheni YaseCanada abanqobi izimpi - abakhiqizi bezikhali bayazuza.
Abephula Amalungelo Abantu
I-CPPIB Itshala okungenani amaphesenti angu-7 esikhwama sethu sempesheni sikazwelonke emacaleni empi ase-Israel. Funda umbiko ogcwele.
Kusukela ngo-March 31, 2022, i- I-CPPIB yayino-$524M (isuka ku-$513M ngo-2021) itshalwe ezinkampanini eziyi-11 kweziyi-112 ezisohlwini Isizindalwazi se-UN njengokuhambisana nokwephulwa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukutshalwa kwezimali kwe-CPPIB ku-WSP, inkampani ekomkhulu laseCanada ehlinzeka ngokuphathwa kwephrojekthi ku-Jerusalem Light Rail, bekucishe kube ngama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu kusukela ngoMashi 3 (kusuka ku-$2022 million ngo-2.583, kanye nama- $2021 million ngo-1.683). NgoSepthemba 2020, 15, isiphakamiso senziwe kuKhomishana Omkhulu Wenhlangano Yezizwe Wamalungelo Abantu ecela ukuthi i-WSP iphenywe ukuze ifakwe ku Isizindalwazi se-UN.
I-Database ye-UN yakhululwa ngoFebhuwari 12, 2020 ku Umbiko we-United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights ngemuva komkhankaso ozimele wokuthola amaqiniso wamazwe ngamazwe wokuphenya imithelela yezindawo zokuhlala zakwa-Israyeli emalungelweni omphakathi, ezepolitiki, ezomnotho, ezenhlalo namasiko abantu basePalestine kuzo zonke izindawo zasePalestine ezihlaselwe, kubandakanya ne-East Jerusalem.. Kunezinkampani eziyi-112 seziphelele ezifakwe ohlwini lwe-UN.
Ngaphezu kwezinkampani ezihlonzwe yiNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene kanye ne-WSP, kusukela ngoMashi 31, 2022, i-CPPIB itshalwe ezinkampanini ezingama-27 (ezenani elingaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyisi-7 zamaRandi) ezihlonzwe I-AFSC Phenya njengokuhambisana namalungelo abantu bakwa-Israel kanye nokwephulwa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.
Hlola lokhu ithuluzi ukukusiza ekulungiseleleni imihlangano yababambe iqhaza be-CPPIB ka-2022.
Zihlobene kanjani lezi zindaba?
Izikhwama zethu zempesheni zenzelwe ukusisiza ukuthi sivikeleke futhi sizimele ngesikhathi sesithatha umhlalaphansi. Ukutshala imali ezinkampanini imisebenzi yazo eyenza umhlaba ungavikeleki kangako, kungaba ngokubhebhethekisa ubunzima besimo sezulu noma ngokunikela ngokuqondile ekusetshenzisweni kwezempi, ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, kanye nokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu kungqubuzana ngokuphelele nale njongo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinxushunxushu zomhlaba wonke ezenziwe zaba zimbi nakakhulu izinqumo zokutshala izimali ze-CPPIB ziyaqinisa futhi zibhebhethekise ezinye.
Ngokwesibonelo, impi namalungiselelo empi akudingi nje izigidigidi zamaRandi ezingase zisetshenziselwe ukuvimbela nokulungiselela izinkinga zemvelo; nazo ziyimbangela enkulu eqondile yalokho kulimala kwemvelo kwasekuqaleni. Ngokwesibonelo, i-Canada ihlela ukuthenga izindiza zempi ezintsha ezingu-88 ze-F-35 ku-Lockheed Martin, usonkontileka omkhulu wezempi (ngokudayiswa) emhlabeni, ngentengo yenani elingu-$19 billion. I-CPP yatshala imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-76 e-Lockheed Martin ngo-2022 kuphela, ixhasa ngezimali ezintsha ze-F-35 nezinye izikhali ezibulalayo. Ukushiswa kwe-F-35s 5,600 amalitha kaphethiloli wejethi ngehora lokundiza. Uphethiloli wejethi mubi kakhulu esimweni sezulu kunophethiloli. Ukuthenga kukahulumeni waseCanada nokusebenzisa izindiza zempi ezingama-88 kufana nokubeka 3,646,993 izimoto ezengeziwe emgwaqweni unyaka ngamunye – okungaphezu kwamaphesenti ayi-10 ezimoto ezibhalisiwe eCanada. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inani lamanje lezindiza zempi eCanada selichithe amashumi ambalwa eminyaka adlule liqhumisa amabhomu e-Afghanistan, eLibya, e-Iraq naseSyria, landisa izingxabano ezinodlame futhi lifaka isandla ezinkingeni ezinkulu zokusiza kanye nababaleki. Le misebenzi ibe nomphumela obulalayo empilweni yomuntu futhi ayihlanganise lutho nokuqinisekisa ukuvikeleka komhlalaphansi kubantu baseCanada.
Ukuntuleka Kokuziphendulela Ngentando Yeningi
Nakuba i-CPPIB ithi izinikele “ekuzizuzeleni okungcono kakhulu kwabanikeli be-CPP nabazuzi,” empeleni inqanyuliwe kakhulu emphakathini futhi isebenza njengenhlangano yokutshalwa kwezimali yobungcweti enomsebenzi wezohwebo, wokutshalwa kwezimali kuphela.
Abaningi bakhulume ngokungahambisani nalesi gunya, ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile. Ngo-Okthoba 2018, I-Global News kubika ukuthi uNgqongqoshe wezeziMali waseCanada uBill Morneau uphenywe imibuzo mayelana nalokhu "Izinto ze-CPPIB enkampanini kagwayi, inkampani ekhiqiza izikhali zamasosha kanye namafemu aphethe amajele aseMelika azimele." UMorneau waphendula lokho “umphathi wempesheni, owengamele ngaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingu-366 zamaRandi ezimpahla zizonke ze-CPP, uphila ngokuvumelana 'nezindinganiso eziphakeme kakhulu zokuziphatha nokuziphatha.' Ephendula, umkhulumeli we-CPPIB uphinde waphendula, “Inhloso ye-CPPIB ukufuna isilinganiso esiphezulu sembuyiselo ngaphandle kwengozi engafanele yokulahlekelwa. Lo mgomo owodwa usho ukuthi i-CPPIB ayihloli ukutshalwa kwezimali komuntu ngamunye ngokusekelwe kumibandela yezenhlalo, yenkolo, yezomnotho noma yezombusazwe.”
Ngo-Ephreli 2019, iLungu lePhalamende u-Alistair MacGregor waphawula ukuthi ngokwemibhalo eshicilelwe ngo-2018, "i-CPPIB iphinde ibambe amashumi ezigidi zamadola kosonkontileka abanjengoGeneral Dynamics noRaytheon." UMacGregor wengeze ngokuthi ngoFebhuwari 2019, wethula. Umthethosivivinywa Welungu elizimele C-431 ku-House of Commons, "ezochibiyela izinqubomgomo zokutshalwa kwezimali, izindinganiso nezinqubo ze-CPPIB ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zihambisana nemikhuba yokuziphatha kanye nokucatshangelwa kwamalungelo abasebenzi, abantu, kanye nemvelo." Ngemuva kokhetho lukazwelonke lwango-Okthoba 2019, iMacGregor yethula umthethosivivinywa futhi ngoFebhuwari 26, 2020 njengo. Umthethosivivinywa C-231.
Naphezu kweminyaka yezikhalazo, izenzo, kanye nokuba khona komphakathi emihlanganweni yomphakathi ye-CPPIB ebanjwa kabili ngonyaka, kube nokushoda okukhulu kwenqubekelaphambili ephusile yokuguqukela ekutshalweni kwezimali okutshala ezintshisakalweni zesikhathi eside ezingcono kakhulu ngokwenza umhlaba ube ngcono kunokuba unikele ukubhujiswa.
