Re: Investor Letter to Palantir regarding its Human Rights Impacts
Dear Mr. Thiel and Other Members of the Board,
As long-term investors with at least USD $336,120,852,425 in assets under management or advisement,1 we believe the protection of human rights is essential to safeguarding our investments. We are concerned about the use of Palantir software by governmental and nongovernmental agencies to violate human rights, including the rights to security of person; privacy; freedom of movement; freedom of expression; non-discrimination; peaceful assembly; and due process.
We support the doctrines cited in Palantir's Human Rights Policy and the Company's affirmation of "the right of all people to protection under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”)”2 and its acknowledgement of its "corporate responsibility to endeavor to protect human rights and support[] the principles outlined in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (“UNGPs”), the UDHR, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the human rights guidance set forth in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises."3
Accordingly, we are writing to voice our concern that Palantir does not appear to be complying with the due diligence measures regarding the use of its products in its Human Rights Policy and to state our support of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Peace's (CSJP) shareholder proposal requesting that the company publish a Human Rights Impact Assessment (“HRIA”).

The UNGPs - mentioned in the Company's Human Rights Policy - state that "[i]n order to gauge human rights risks, business enterprises should identify and assess any actual or potential adverse human rights impacts with which they may be involved either through their own activities or as a result of their business relationships," as well as track and communicate on the effectiveness of their human rights due diligence.4
Palantir states that when it is “made aware of claims of misuse of Palantir products, we will explore using every means at our disposal, including but not limited to contract provisions, collaboration with third-party oversight organizations, full cooperation with investigatory and judicial bodies, and termination of customer relationships.”5 At the same time, Palantir provides little detail on its human rights due diligence process.
We understand the Company's statement that "there are legal, ethical and privacy limitations around [Palantir's] ability to actively monitor all customer actions or leverage data they legally own, within Palantir products,"6 yet we are alarmed by the magnitude of publicly available information identifying human rights abuses resulting from governmental customer use of Palantir's software.

Palantir software has been connected to human rights abuses carried out by US and international police departments,7 US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”),8 US Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”),9 and the US Military.10 In addition, there are credible human rights concerns about the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s use of Palantir software and health data being used to locate undocumented people.11
In February 2026, the New York City Comptroller requested Palantir commission an independent third-party human rights risk assessment related to Palantir’s work with DHS, including ICE, citing “the potential for elevated enterprise risk with implications for long-term- shareholder value.”12
Also, in February, Michael Burry stated that the value of Palantir's stock is 66% lower than the price at which it is trading. Burry cited overstated margins, spending, and high expectations relative to revenue13 creating financial risk for shareholders that could be exacerbated by lack of sufficient human rights due diligence and transparency.
More recently, ABP, the Netherlands’ largest pension fund, divested from Palantir,14 and public pensions funds in California, Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon are facing significant pressure from beneficiaries to similarly divest.15

In addition, there has been increasing grassroots activity against the company for its software's alleged facilitation of human rights abuses, increasing reputational risk and the long-term value of the company.16 Given the Company’s longstanding contentions that media reporting on its products and services is inaccurate, the requested HRIA could also help dispel any inaccurate reporting, if this is the case, thereby reducing reputational damage.
We, the undersigned, call for Palantir to have an independent third party conduct and publish an HRIA with "meaningful consultation with potentially affected groups and other relevant stakeholders"17 in line with its corporate policies and the international standards mentioned therein.
