Current Campaigns

Campaigning is a key part of FairPensions' drive towards improving corporate behaviour through Responsible Investment. We aim to mobilise the financial power of UK pension investments to create change: as major shareholders in UK companies, pension funds have enormous power to improve corporate behaviour on the environment and human rights. FairPensions campaigns to ensure that this investor power is harnessed.
