Major asset managers BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street are the #1 shareholders in some of the world’s biggest companies, meaning they have huge influence over the decisions that companies make during their annual meetings. We need money managers to steer large corporations toward a climate-safe future, not off the fossil fuel cliff.

Some of the biggest clients of major asset managers include the state treasurers who manage hundreds of millions of dollars in pensions for nurses, teachers, and other government employees. These leaders have an enormous responsibility to ensure those pensions are protected from risky investments in fossil fuels.

You’re doing the right thing by saving for your future. But the financial institutions managing your investments and retirement funds are funneling money into companies responsible for the climate crisis. Let’s create the demand for truly sustainable investment options.
