Scotland is now officially in recession after the second quarter of negative growth, but this is no ordinary recession. The question for @KateForbesMSP, @scotgoveconomy has to be how we build back better for a #GreenRecovery

Great work from @MMMoneyMatter!

"While you're cutting carbon, is your pension swiping right on oil?" 🤣

[Make My Money Matter @MMMoneyMatter]

Is your pension cheating on you? 🤯 While you’re cutting carbon, is your pension fooling round with fossil fuels? While you’re protecting the planet, is your pension getting down with deforestation? You deserve better - demand a net zero pension today.

Scotland has the potential to be an important hub for #ResponsibleInvesting. Read our latest report on the country's #ResponsibleInvestment industry now at https://t.co/bZy6mtSB2d!

[Ben Caldecott @bencaldecott]

It’s time to make net zero targets and transition plans mandatory for financial institutions. The UK should lead the way. This is probably the single most important thing we can do to turbocharge the alignment of finance with climate outcomes. https://t.co/U8TnvJMaSm

More on @nestpensions fossil fuel divestment news:

Gets to core of why ordinary pension holders invest. At most basic level, people are ensuring a comfortable future for retirement & part of that means preventing #ClimateChange so there is a habitable planet to retire on!

[Ethical Finance Hub @EF_Hub]

Hard to overstate how big this fossil fuel divestment from @nestpensions is for #ResponsibleInvestment! Research from us and @MMMoneyMatter shows:

🔹UK pension pot is huge, ~£3tn
🔹most savers don't want to hurt climate
🔹most are autoenrolled

[Chartered Banker @charteredbanker]

Even before COVID-19, anxiety over sustainability, climate change, risk and inequality had added urgency to the shareholder vs stakeholder value debate. Read our latest article on the debate here: https://t.co/O4zTLpOhk1

[Ethical Finance Hub @EF_Hub]

Your pension can change the world. 2/3 Scots agree that it should be used to do good, but 75% don't think it is, or don't know if it is, says EFH's Chris Tait in @TheScotsman

That's why the @MMMoneyMatter campaign is so important!

[Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) @Finance4Change]

The numbers don't lie:

73% of @nestpensions members want their retirement funds invested responsibly.

So why do rules make it hard for providers to #FinanceNature and engage in #ResponsibleInvestment?

(great to see a mention of our partners @MMMoneyMatter too!)

[Green Bonds UK @GreenBondsUK]

"timing for the British government to begin issuing #greenbonds was regarded to be well-suited for both stimulating economic growth but to also demonstrate climate leadership following its net zero ambition & ahead of @COP26..."

"...they need to start this right now"

[Brian Donnelly @BrianDonnellyHT]

The campaign involves Edinburgh-based Ethical Finance Hub (@EF_Hub), which is calling on public sector pension schemes in Scotland to commit to investing in line with the Scottish Government’s ambitions to create a greener, fairer and healthier country. 👇
