Our campaign includes three core workstreams:

1. Public Campaign: We’re going to tell the story of how we can create a better future for people and planet, and of how our money can do good while it grows – without compromising on returns. We’re going to show people what their money does now, and give them a call to action to demand it does better in the future.
2. High Profile Partnerships: We’re convening businesses, NGOs, universities, local authorities, and public figures, and helping them work with their pension fund to make positive, progressive changes that ensures their money aligns with their values.
3. Policy and Advocacy: We’re working with a core set of partners, including advocacy groups, government agencies, and the finance industry, to create a unifying call for high priority, high impact policy reforms that can transform the system from within. We’ll advocate for this manifesto at key national and global moments, including the 2021 UK G7 and COP26.
