Double Standards?

Norway has a high international profile in regard to peace processes, rainforest saving initiatives and ethical standards for its Pension Fund. At the same time Norway is the largest exporter of arms per capita in the world. Our Pension Fund invests in companies criticized for serious human rights violations and environmental damage, as in gold mines in Guatemala and palm oil forests in Borneo and Indonesia. Is it acceptable?
