  • The Problem

    Without realising it, many of us are investing in the biggest agents of climate change – fossil fuel companies – through our pensions and investments.

    We’re trying to change that by building public support for funds free of fossil fuels.

    Then we’ll engage with asset managers on behalf of the people who want these funds.

  • The Process

    Fossil fuel divestment is a global movement calling people to withdraw their money from investments in fossil fuel companies. Over $40 trillion in endowments and portfolios are already in!

    This puts pressure on fossil fuel companies contributing most to climate breakdown. 

  • The Outcome

    Divesting from fossil fuels frees up capital for reinvestment in safer, cleaner, and more ethical options. Divestment is hard in South Africa. But by showing asset managers there’s demand for fossil-free investments, we can change that.

    We’re not asking asset managers to divest 100% overnight – just to create more fossil-free options for the many people who want them.
