Advancing a binding ILO Convention to protect platform workers, prevents a race to the bottom in labor standards, and secures fair, decent work in the digital economy

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 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. The Convention must avoid unnecessary caveats or exceptions that weaken its meaning or implementation, and deliver substantive protections that can be applied in practice.

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. Investors support the adoption of a robust, binding Convention, supplemented by a Recommendation, promoting decent work in the platform economy at the next International Labour Conference in June 2026. International labor standards create a level playing field across countries and business models, providing legal certainty and reducing regulatory and reputational risks. Investors support a binding international convention that ensures support for labor rights, social protections and dignity for all workers in the platform economy.  

The investor statement makes the case that “…effective regulation of platform work can also contribute to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Evidence shows that worker-protective labor laws can have positive impacts on productivity and employment, while helping to reduce earnings inequality. Bringing digital platform companies within national regulatory frameworks can also increase tax revenues and strengthen contributions to social protection systems, benefitting societies as a whole. A strong regulatory framework for platform work could mitigate the systemic social risks that are associated with inequality.”

A recent World Bank report estimated that as many as one in eight workers worldwide are employed through digital platforms, a dramatic increase since 2019. These workers constitute a massive and growing share of the global labor force and are disproportionately impacted by the pitfalls of the current globalized economy including chronic precarity of employment, weakened or non-existent bargaining power and deregulated workplace safety. 

In the face of these trends, investors, labor unions and worker advocates have increasingly called for a binding international convention on the rights of gig and platform workers that would establish the sort of clarity, regularity and cohesion across global labor markets to protect platform workers and foster a more durable economic stability worldwide.

Nadira Narine, Senior Director for Strategic Initiatives at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR)

“A strong Convention to secure labor rights for gig and platform work is crucial for safeguarding investments. Exploitative labor practices like low pay that spark labor unrest, misclassification of workers that create legal and regulatory risk, and the opacity that comes with algorithmic management are all a raw deal for workers and create financial and systemic risks that threaten the wider economy. We support a robust, worker-informed Convention to brings dignity, fairness, clarity, and long-term stability to the platform economy.”

Tuy Sythieng, General Secretary of Cambodian Food and Service Workers’ Federation (CFSWF)

“A strong ILO Convention on Platform Work is vital for all platform workers in Cambodia, especially food delivery Workers. Currently, Cambodia lacks specific laws to protect us. Although we are essential to the national economy and company profits, we are often overlooked by both the government and private firms. I truly believe that a strong International Labour Conference (ILC) convention will provide the protection we need to ensure job security, income security, and social protection.”

Father 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.”

Tamara Hardegger, Managing Director for the Swiss Association for Responsible Investing

“Just as human rights apply universally to all persons, fundamental workers’ rights must be afforded to all workers, irrespective of their designation, categorization, or contractual classification.”

Lucia Lopez, Senior Analyst, Responsible Investing, NEI Investments

“Platform work has intensified vulnerabilities long associated with informal employment, amplifying systemic risks and leaving millions of workers exposed to precarious conditions, opaque algorithmic management, limited social protection, and few avenues for remedy. In an evolving labour market, a strong, binding convention centered on decent work in the platform economy is essential. Strong worker protections are the foundation of a strong economy.”

Vincent Kaufmann, CEO of Ethos

“Institutional investors with long term liabilities and globally diversified portfolios may be exposed to risks linked to weak labor standards fueling inequality, legal uncertainty and social instability. A binding ILO Convention for decent work in the platform economy is therefore not only a human rights responsibility but essential for long term value creation, systemic stability and mitigation of financially material risks.”

Maggie Mthombeni, Organizer, Izwi Domestic Workers Alliance in South Africa

“In a sector notoriously rife with human rights violations and labour exploitation, domestic workers in South Africa have had to fight tooth and nail to earn the right to such basic workplace protections as unemployment insurance (UIF) and workers compensation for injury (COIDA). 

As cleaning and care work globally is moving onto digital platorms, an ILO convention will play a critical role in shaping the future of the sector. If proper regulations and enforcement are in place to ensure decent working conditions, platforms actually have the potential to play a positive long-term role in formalising the domestic work sector. However, if loopholes allow companies to continue the current trajectory of exploiting app-based workers, the growing shift towards platform work could potentially strip care workers of those fundamental rights.”

Natalie Wasek, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility, Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia

“All workers have a right to safe, dignified work, and this requires centering workers’ voices by ensuring they have meaningful power, representation, and leadership in the decisions that shape their working conditions and livelihoods. A strong Convention that is informed by and addresses the concerns of platform workers globally would help ensure that digital labor systems uphold human rights, promote equity and accountability, and center the voices of workers in shaping the future of work.”

In five shareholder proposals, investors illustrate how the company’s business model, policies, and practices create risks for multiple stakeholders that threaten shareholder value.

NEW YORK, NY, TUESDAY, MAY 27, 2025 – At Amazon’s ($AMZN) annual meeting last Thursday, five shareholder proposals were presented for a vote, each raising issues that illustrate how the company’s business model, dominance across multiple industries, and its lack of adequate risk management structures expose the company, its stakeholders and society to significant and material risks.

Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world by market cap and the second-largest employer in the U.S. For several years, shareholders, including ICCR members, have been pressing the company through shareholder proposals to implement policies that will mitigate adverse social and/or environmental impacts. While all the proposals failed, investors say they will continue to raise the issues as they present material risks.

This proxy season, ten resolutions were filed, but Amazon sought no action relief from the SEC on nearly all proposals, and only five made it onto the proxy for a vote by shareholders. While the company faces several controversies related to freedom of association, that proposal was excluded from the proxy as a result of the no-action process. Worker rights have been a consistent theme at Amazon given the company’s business model, which subjects warehouse and delivery workers to ever-increasing production and speed pressures, and board/management’s strong opposition to employees’ unionization efforts.

“Tulipshare’s proposal, shaped by four years of engagement and backed by investors representing billions in assets, was built on a simple premise: workers power businesses,” said Antoine Argouges, CEO and founder of Tulipshare. “Although Amazon brands itself as ‘Earth’s Safest Place to Work,’ periodic reports have revealed a mounting safety and injury crisis in its warehouses, with employees facing unsafe working conditions and unfair treatment globally. This is a critical point in the company’s trajectory for Amazon to act on its stated values and take meaningful action towards protecting its workers. We investors must monitor Amazon’s leadership and guide the company to ensure that basic human rights are upheld in one of the world’s largest supply chains.”

On May 15th, ICCR hosted an investor briefing, The Hidden Liabilities of Amazon’s Workforce Model, which featured several Amazon employees who had suffered workplace injuries. The video recap from this event can be viewed here. Also on May 15th, the Strategic Organizing Center released a report, Failure to Deliver, which presented data from 2024, indicating that the rate of serious injuries in Amazon’s warehouses was nearly double that of non-Amazon warehouses, highlighting that Amazon’s operations have continued to be dramatically more dangerous for workers than the broader warehouse industry.

“Amazon shareholders and company leadership continue to ignore the company’s astronomical injury rate and brutal treatment of workers — even after the scathing findings of the Senate HELP Committee and the corporate-wide OSHA settlement, said Bianca Agustin, Co-Executive Director of United for Respect Education Fund. “Amazon sacrifices safety for speed, leaving workers injured, underpaid, and struggling to survive. UFR is doubling down in our efforts to ensure Amazon associates get the dignity and respect they deserve.”

Investors also sought to understand how Amazon was overseeing social and environmental risks related to its increasing use of AI. A proposal filed by the AFL-CIO requested that the company assess potential human rights and worker rights impacts stemming from its use of tech and AI in the workplace.

“The AFL-CIO Equity Index Funds’ proposal requests an independent, third-party assessment of human rights risks associated with Amazon’s use of Artificial Intelligence,” said Isaiah Thomas, RWDSU union organizer and former Amazon warehouse employee. “The right to a safe and healthy workplace is an internationally recognized human right, and Amazon’s use of computer algorithms to set warehouse production quotas and its use of AI-powered robots creates potential safety risks that must be addressed.”

Two proposals highlighted how Amazon’s size and business model will significantly increase the GHG emissions responsible for driving the climate crisis, including a new proposal centered on Amazon’s accelerated build-out of data centers globally, which received 23% support.

Said Eliza Pan, spokesperson for Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, “The AI race is here and it’s changing both literal and political landscapes across the world. How shortsighted Amazon’s Board and investors must be to dismiss getting detailed and transparent information about how Amazon will ensure its ambitious AI buildout plans don’t conflict with climate and environmental impacts. With massive AI data center plans in fossil-fuel dependent places like Saudi Arabia and Virginia, or drought-vulnerable places like Mexico, without corresponding renewable or community investment, Amazon is setting itself up to fail meeting its own Climate Pledge, let alone the science-based climate targets that are needed from large companies.”

“Amazon’s current disclosures only account for the material emissions from approximately 3% of its retail sales,” said Parker Caswell, Climate and Energy Sr. Associate at As You Sow. “This significantly understates the Company’s true emissions, misleading investors and greatly diminishing the value of its disclosures.”

An additional proposal highlights how Amazon’s massive ecommerce and retail businesses make it a significant contributor to the global plastic pollution crisis.

“Our proposal asks Amazon to assess the risks of using non-recyclable flexible plastic packaging,” said Conrad MacKerron, Sr. VP at As You Sow. “Use of flexible plastic packaging, including pouches and sachets for food and beverage applications, has grown rapidly. Flexibles are usually made from several different kinds of plastic and so cannot be recycled in conventional recycling systems. Competitors like Target and Walmart have disclosed their use of flexible plastic and their intent to make all packaging recyclable by a specific date. Amazon has not.”

Although Amazon has been one of the top recipients of shareholder proposals for several years, in the majority of instances and to the frustration of investors, the company has remained reticent to engage with shareholders about their concerns and consistently opposes all ESG-related proposals submitted for its proxy. This remained true this proxy season.

Said, Ryan Gerety, Director of the Athena coalition, “Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and CEO Andy Jassy, along with the rest of Amazon’s Board of Directors, still refuse to address serious concerns about the corporation, including its illegal interference with the rights of workers to unionize, refusal to address the injury crisis in its warehouses, failure to live up to its climate commitments amidst its data center boom, and provision of cloud computing to customers with demonstrated human rights violations and war crimes. Amazon executives and the Board, flanked by large Wall Street investors like Vanguard, can close their eyes to the company’s negative impacts—but the public and workers across all parts of the company certainly will not.”

“Amazon will tell you that outside groups are misrepresenting their injury record, but in fact, Amazon is misrepresenting their injury record,” he said at an investor briefing organized by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, a New York-based coalition of faith- and values-based investors, on Thursday. “I am not part of any outside group. I’ve been at Amazon for almost six years as a warehouse employee. I received employee of the month. As a Nodal Onboarding Academy trainer, I have received numerous accolades for my teaching abilities. I also received from Amazon a permanent physical disability.”

As we gathered at the Interfaith Center “God Box” for February’s ICCR conference, many of us carried a troubled spirit. You didn’t hear any lamenting, but you could sense our weariness in the way we greeted one another. Whether with words, a smile, or a hug, our interactions were more heartfelt than usual. We weren’t just saying hello; we also came seeking something – perhaps reassurance.

We were two months into rapid-fire Executive Orders from the Trump Administration, and many were witnessing their efforts to uphold a more just and equitable society being dismantled nearly overnight. In planning this conference, we determined that it was essential to turn to the elders of the ICCR community. We were eager to know how they kept the fire going through distressing times. How had they persevered through the ups and downs of political regime changes?

The session was dubbed a “Fireside Chat with ICCR Elders”. As it began, Sister Barbara Aires, Steven Heim, Father Séamus Finn and Bill Somplatsky-Jarman (SJ), who had collectively served the ICCR community for over 140 years, started sharing their stories.

One of the recurring themes was about the power of persistence. Both Steven and Sister Barbara shared stories of their unwavering determination, such as calling corporate offices on a daily or weekly basis. When Sister Barbara was told that Lee Scott, CEO of Walmart from 2000-2009, wouldn’t to speak with her, she replied, “Tell him that I want to speak with him,” which got a hearty chuckle from the audience, because we knew this was said in a way that would be very difficult for the CEO to refuse. And indeed, Sister Barbara received a call from Mr. Scott the very next day.

Another common theme focused on the power of trust, relationships and alliances. The audience heard stories of allies from the labor movement and personally affiliated corporate directors coming together to partner with the ICCR community. These decades-long relationships enabled beneficial solutions at large multi-national banks, managing the debts of the South African government and other emerging governments that would not have been possible without these relationships of trust.

They also spoke about the importance of how we can orient ourselves to make the most of long-term relationships. After Bill SJ reflected on a prior period of struggle when the Neocon movement was reinvigorated during the Reagan Administration, he shared, “The adversarial approach is often not the way to go. You have to develop and nurture relationships of trust, and all kinds of amazing things can happen.” Along these lines, Steven encouraged all listening to consider the “adopt-a-company” approach, where you engage with a company on a wide range of topics for the long term.

All four speakers emphasized the power of in-person participation. For Father Séamus, inspiration came from site visits with ICCR members and employees of Disney and McDonald’s to factories in Hong Kong and China as part of Project Kaleidoscope (a multi-stakeholder group that sought to improve working conditions in factories). Sister Barbara collected inspiring and humorous encounters at a shareholder meeting at Southern Company. For Steven, inspiration came from a 2005 trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon, which made him more committed to advocate for the rights of Indigenous Peoples. (For more insight into each of these stories, you can listen to the recording.)

The ICCR elders also spoke of ways to stay inspired and emboldened despite challenges. They spoke of the importance of finding sacred spaces and quiet places to allow your spirit to be filled. They spoke of keeping inspirational texts close by as reminders of one’s values, and of finding support from the ICCR community and other communities with shared values.

The last message was about faith: “Keep up your hearts,” shared Sister Barbara. “Know the values that you have. The faith that strengthens you to proceed. Don’t be in despair over what you see. I am proud of all the young people who are popping up like crazy… smarter than I am. Use those skills for the good of all.”

After it was over, we understood the assignment before us in a new way. We held a knowing to do the work that comes from a deeper place. The fire was still burning, and would stay alight even in these troubled times.

NEW YORK, NY, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2025 – A group of nearly 100 institutional investors issued a statement today in support of comprehensive immigration reform they view as critical to creating business certainty, operational continuity, economic expansion, and a more cohesive and just society. The statement includes a series of recommended actions for Congress, Companies, and Investors to help achieve this goal.

The statement was issued in response to recent executive orders that are already resulting in an increase in raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the deportations and detentions of people and families without documentation. These political actions are creating heightened anxiety and unpredictability that investors say are already impacting the markets.

Said New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, “Immigrants are an integral part of the rich and diverse tapestry that is America, and have contributed significantly to the workforce, and cultural and entrepreneurial spirit that defines this nation. Congress should act now, without delay, to pass the comprehensive and just immigration reform legislation needed to maintain a competitive edge in the global economy and ensure growth and sustainability across industries and sectors.”

Citing a recent report from the American Immigration Council1, the statement underscores how mass deportations by the new administration, if executed, could result in a nearly 5% reduction in the labor force that would cripple future labor force growth, disrupt business operations, and significantly increase labor costs for all employers, now and for years to come.

“Immigrants help power our economy, and they are threaded throughout the workforces of nearly every sector and company either directly or via their supply chains,” said Lauren Compere of Boston Common Asset Management. “In 2023, immigrants were about 18.6% of US employment, concentrated in agriculture, construction, and healthcare but also higher-skilled sectors. If mass deportations occur, we can expect labor shortages to grow, along with the prices of the goods and services they help to provide. These are considered strong risks for investors. In contrast, comprehensive immigration reform will help, not harm, U.S. businesses and the economy.”

The investor statement further notes that “… removing this critical workforce through mass deportations would result in a GDP loss between 1.2 and 7.4 percent below baseline by the end of 2028, slowing down the U.S. economy and restricting the growth potentials of many American businesses. Moreover, a one-time mass deportation is conservatively estimated to cost the U.S. government $315 billion to execute.”2

Said Rocio Saenz, Secretary-Treasurer of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), “Immigrant workers contribute significantly to all sectors of the U.S. economy. They are the essential field workers who harvest our food, the janitors who maintain our buildings, the doctors and nurses who provide care when we’re sick, and the home care workers who assist our aging loved ones and those with disabilities. Removing these workers from our communities and workplaces would devastate entire families and have a negative impact on our local and state economies. We urge policymakers at all levels of government to stand in solidarity with immigrants, oppose the mass separation of American families, and work towards establishing legal pathways to citizenship to keep families together.”

Said Katie McCloskey of Mercy Investment Services, “Potential mass deportations pose significant and material human rights risks that concern investors, particularly faith-based investors. The Sisters of Mercy work for just and humane immigration laws, and as the financial ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Investment Services recognizes that these actions not only reverence the dignity of each person but strengthen our economy and the companies in which we invest.”

In what appears to be a first-of-its-kind filing, Oxfam criticizes the U.S. companies for their human rights violations against domestic workforces.

Shareholders are pressing companies from Coca-Cola to Caesars this proxy season on indoor smoking at casinos, the risks of non-sugar sweeteners in soft drinks, and a range of other health issues.

Today, a group of institutional investors, including members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), issued a public statement of support for a recent letter from Walmart ($WMT) employees calling on the company to address widespread worker safety concerns and racial justice issues across its business. The statement also calls for Walmart to implement the requests of four shareholder proposals on worker rights and racial justice going to a vote at the company’s annual general meeting on June 5th.

With a market cap of $519.61 billion and over 2.1 million employees worldwide, Walmart is the world’s largest private employer and is considered a systemically important economic actor. Yet the company has long been mired in controversies concerning its treatment of workers, with issues including low wages, workplace safety concerns, and exposing employees to unnecessary harms that have often translated into significant headline risks for the company, and in some cases, legal risks. Perhaps most concerning are the charges of workplace bias and racial discrimination highlighted in the workers’ letter.

“As a long-term Walmart shareholder, we are concerned by the company’s lack of strategic commitment to address systemic risks, such as racial inequality within the workplace, income inequality from low wages, and other worker rights issues,” said Sr. Susan Mika, Benedictine Sisters, Boerne, Texas. “We acknowledge the steps Walmart has taken over the years to address these concerns, but it is clear from continued reports and investigations that more work needs to be done. We feel that leveraging the tools outlined in the shareholder proposals would help the company better understand the nature and origins of those risks and be equipped to mitigate them in a way that benefits Walmart, its associates, and its shareholders.”

Walmart employs 1.6 million associates in the U.S. and is also the largest private employer of Black people in the country. Additionally, over half of the company’s U.S. workforce comprises people of color. These same workers account for a disproportionate number of employees not earning a living wage. A recent report from Oxfam America based on a survey of Walmart workers further found that Black and Latina women workers reported higher rates of back, neck, hand and arm pain than their white counterparts.  

Pressures from low-cost business models frequently manifest via poor enforcement of labor and human rights across food and textile supply chains, with complex and hidden social issues continuing to expose companies like Walmart to market, reputational, and legal risks. However, given its size and influence, the investors argue Walmart should serve as a role model for best practices in human capital management for its sector and for corporations more broadly.

“As a Walmart shareholder, Oxfam urges others to recognize that unchecked risks to workers can ultimately pose significant risks to the company’s business interests, not to mention the financial interests of investors. It’s crucial that Walmart confronts any unaddressed issues concerning workers’ rights, health and safety in the workplace, and racial equity,” said Irit Tamir, Director of Oxfam America’s Private Sector Department.

The investor statement calls on the company to respect worker rights and advance racial equity by:

  • Conducting an independent racial equity audit;
  • Conducting a workplace safety & prevention of violence assessment;
  • Conducting a human rights impact assessment;
  • Establishing living wage guardrails; and
  • Engaging directly with its impacted stakeholders.

The signatories are a coalition of faith-based investors, asset management firms, venture capital firms, NGOs, banks, foundations, regional coalitions and others who argue that uplifting the company’s key stakeholders – its workers – will have a positive effect on the company’s day-to-day and long-term success. A core group of ICCR members are long-term Walmart investors who have engaged the company on a host of ESG-related issues, including worker rights, for over 20 years.

“Walmart’s brand, culture, reputation, longevity, and resilience all depend on the well-being of its employees,” said Marcela Pinilla, Director of Sustainable Investing at Zevin Asset Management. “It is mutually important for shareholders and workers that a leading employer like Walmart assess its risks and opportunities from its ‘business as usual’ practices. Since higher workplace standards lead to less absenteeism, lower turnover, and fewer accidents, and higher wages contribute to employee satisfaction, Walmart’s job is to pursue these outcomes.

This will be a key week for Walmart, as it is set to face four shareholder proposals filed by members of the ICCR coalition at its annual stockholders meeting on June 5th.  The proposals highlight worker rights and racial justice concerns and call for: a human rights impact assessment, a racial equity audit, a living wage, and a workplace safety policy assessment.
