Use your investments to drive change
Making a difference made easy
No more nonsense on net-zero
Net-zero transition plans and targets communicate to investors how a company is responding to the existential threat of climate change. Investors should review company commitments against these recommendations.
What We Do:
After you register, we take care of the rest. We conduct research, engage with companies and affected communities and put forward proposals to these companies with our registered shareholders.
The Shareholder Resolution:
Once the resolution gets put on the notice of the meeting, all shareholders have the opportunity to consider the resolution and we’ll speak to it at the annual general meeting.
Impact:
We let you know what we’ve been able to achieve with the resolution and the next steps for ongoing engagement with the company.
