What we do

We make sure savers’ voices are heard by the people managing their money. We unlock the power of investors to influence the behaviour of companies and their impact on society and the environment. We give investors and savers the tools they need to make change happen, such as research and training.

We publish policy recommendations to influence and rewrite the rules of the system. We analyse the behaviour of big investors, harnessing competition and driving up standards. We bring together investors, organisations and individual savers into powerful networks that take action and drive change.

Current campaigns

We influence companies and their investors to do things differently. We help investors engage with companies. By improving corporate behaviour, our campaigns make people’s lives better and protect the environment.

Limiting climate change

Banks

We rank and engage the largest European and global banks to ensure they invest in the low-carbon economy.

Decarbonise

We influence companies with a global reach to set ambitious climate targets that shift market demands.

Fossil fuels

We advocate for the world’s largest fossil fuel companies to transition to low-carbon business models.

Promoting good work

Global workforces

We shine a light on the supply chains of the largest global employers to drive better working conditions.

Living Wages

We work with the largest British employers to make sure they pay all staff at least the real Living Wage.

David Pitt-Watson made the point to me “how do these guys do so much on so little?” It didn’t need an answer, we just had to look around the room and the pavement outside.
