Join us in the campaign to switch £100 million away from fossil fuels and into investments that make a positive impact
The average pension pot is £50,000. What happens if that £50,000 is switched out of fossil fuel companies. The shares that are held in those companies are sold.
The selling of those shares will have minimal or no effect on those fossil fuel companies and another investor will immediately buy those shares replacing the £50,000.
So if £50,000 won’t change the pensions world will a £100 million?
When large numbers of pension investors move their money away from fossil fuels that starts to have an effect. Demand for shares and bonds in fossil fuels falls.
This then puts financial pressure on these companies. If enough investors become unwilling to own or finance fossil fuel businesses capital becomes more expensive and the cost of borrowing goes up.
