Who we are

We're working to unleash the positive potential of the investment system.

Our vision is a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people.

We work to define the highest standards for responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide.

How we make change

From setting ambitious standards for truly responsible investment, utilising our AGM activism programme to hold company boards and executives to account, and advocating for financial regulation in the UK and EU that will protect people's best interests, we deploy a range of ways to influence the investment system.

How we are funded

ShareAction is a registered charity and, like all non-profits, we rely heavily on generous support from our funders. The majority of our funding comes from charitable grants gifted by trusts and foundations. In addition to this, our network membership fees and individual donations also contribute to much needed financial support.

Our team

We wouldn’t be where we are today without our team of dedicated, passionate and courageous individuals. Committed to promoting responsible investment, our small, skilled team work to achieve our mission of a financial system that works for our planet and its people.

Meet the team

Our history

ShareAction started life as a campaign that worked with People & Planet, where we helped Britain’s largest pension scheme adopt a responsible investment policy. Since then, we have expanded to campaign on the most pressing issues facing the world today. We’ve driven change at the heart of the financial system, shaped public policy and built a diverse movement of savers and investors for responsible investment.
