FairPensions campaigns for major institutional investors to adopt
Responsible Investment: using shareholder power
to hold companies to account.

Your pension may be buying more than you think

While growing a nest egg for your retirement, your pension savings could also be paying for environmental destruction, illegal arms sales or the exploitation of workers. That's because the money you pay into your pension fund each month may be invested in businesses with irresponsible practices.

FairPensions runs the campaign for Responsible Investment. We believe that pension providers should listen to the views of members - it's your money after all - and take the trouble to watch what companies are getting up to around the world. Where malpractice is identified, you'll want to know that action to stop it will be taken.
