FairPensions is a charity campaigning for Responsible Investment. We persuade major shareholders such as pension funds and fund managers to challenge companies about environmental, social and corporate governance issues.

Many important issues can be tackled through pressure from shareholders who question companies and hold them to account over their action. They can also engage with them and help develop best practice in areas of concern. Responsible investors recognise that such activity is also in their financial interest, because environmental, social and governance issues often turn into financial risks.

Many people don’t realise that they are indirect shareholders in major corporations. Pensions and savings are often invested in large corporations. Through voicing your concern to your pension fund or bank you can hold these companies to account.

FairPensions campaigns not only on single Responsible Investment issues but also to raise people’s awareness of the power they hold in their pensions or savings. Visit fairpensions.org.uk to find out how you can get your voice heard on vital issues.
