The finance system runs on our money, but the financial sector (like banks and pension providers) makes investment decisions on our behalf. A lot of these investments are contributing to the destruction of our planet and our human rights. Short-term, profit focused decision-making is jeopardising urgently needed climate action, destroying nature and creating hardship and sickness for millions of people around the world. ShareAction wants to make investments build a better, healthier world.

We define the highest standards for responsible investment and apply public pressure to hold companies accountable for their harmful activities. We push for these standards to be adopted worldwide. We do this by publishing our expert research, and campaigning through AGM activism. We convene powerful investors to push companies to improve their practices and advocate for robust financial regulations. Perhaps you think finance represents power, we know finance is people, like you and me.
