ShareAction is a registered charity that promotes Responsible Investment.
ShareAction aims to improve corporate behaviour on environmental, social and governance issues. The charity has launched numerous campaigns, building capacity among savers, charities, unions, faith groups and other civil society organisations to engage with investors to bring about change. ShareAction’s work recognises that the money individuals and organisations put into the investment system funds global corporations, who in turn have the power to change business practices that are harmful to people or the environment.
A key aim is to democratise the financial system so that ordinary savers have more influence over how their money is invested. ShareAction engages with investors, pension funds, asset managers, individuals, charities and policy makers to achieve its mission.
ShareAction has been highly commended three times in the Charity Awards, most recently in 2015 for its AGM Army project.
ShareAction is based in London, United Kingdom. Catherine Howarth is the current Chief Executive.
