(30th October 2024) Reacting to the Chancellor's announcement of the UK government's Autumn budget, Bramwell Blower, Public Affairs Manager at ShareAction said:

“It's encouraging to see the Chancellor taking steps today to increase public and private funding for the UK's clean energy and green infrastructure.

“Government action to boost private investment that supports the UK's transition to net zero is critical to growing a strong and sustainable economy.

“The Government should now introduce ambitious measures to ensure that private capital is invested responsibly, in the public's best long-term interests. This includes maintaining a robust Stewardship Code, setting requirements for transparent financial reporting, and reforming fiduciary duty so that our pensions work better for people and planet.”
