HD Hyundai Heavy Industry
Additional Details
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) is the world's largest shipbuilding company and a major heavy equipment manufacturer. HD Hyundai machinery has been repeatedly used by Israeli forces to demolish Palestinian homes, businesses, and essential infrastructure in the OPT, namely, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. These demolitions, which have resulted in large scale and sustained forced displacement of Palestinian residents, constitute a key pillar in Israel’s system of apartheid and its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory. Entire families have been displaced; water wells and cultural sites have been destroyed; and countless lives have been shattered. One family watched their home reduced to rubble in minutes — and were later forced to pay demolition fees. -- Listed on KRX (329180), HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM, NPS and KIC
