Why Responsible Investment

Global emissions continue to rise, our natural world is in decline, and the divide between rich and poor is widening.

These global challenges are being driven by short-term investment decisions focused on maximising profit that fail to fully account for external risks and impacts on people and the natural world. There’s growing recognition of the need for a more responsible approach to finance. Yet the world’s major investors are not yet driving change at the level required.

ShareAction’s flagship principles for responsible investment set the high standard the world needs. We work to drive change until all investment is responsible. Together, we can harness the positive potential of our finance system to shape a fairer, healthier, safer future.
