Too often, UK policy development around sustainable finance is conducted in piecemeal fashion, skirting around the edges of financial regulation. This reflects a conservative mind-set amongst policy makers and is exacerbated by the fact that no single department has "ownership" of sustainable and responsible investment. ShareAction wants to initiate the enactment of a Bill bringing together all aspects of responsible investment, which will have a transformational impact and propel the UK finance sector towards a more sustainable pathway. We see this as a vital piece of work if we are to succeed in halting the climate crisis, and one which will put the UK front and centre of the sustainability movement ahead of COP 26.

ShareAction's focus on changing the investment system is designed to produce tangible, positive impacts in the real economy. We promote responsible investment (RI) and want people with savings to get a better deal from the investment system, whilst their wider economic, social and environmental interests are served by investment professionals acting on their behalf. We have been successful in securing restricted funding for diverse projects, however the proportion of our core funding has not kept pace over recent years. ShareAction needs unrestricted income to respond to the policy context, build deep support for change across civil society, and develop lasting and less transactional relationships within the investment system itself.

(Project title has changed - check it is still in line with Project Description) Savers in the UK increasingly want pension products that address both their financial and ethical interests.
