- ShareAction abstract "ShareAction, formerly known as FairPensions, is a registered charity that promotes responsible investment by pension schemes and fund managers. It is based in London, United Kingdom. ShareAction's aim is to improve corporate behaviour regarding environmental, social and governance issues. The advocacy group focuses on encouraging pension funds to implement responsible investment strategies. The charity engages with corporations through shareholder action. Its work is driven by the fact that people indirectly have shares in companies through their participation in pension schemes and other financial products.ShareAction runs campaigns and publishes research. It is supported by a number of member organisations, such as Greenpeace, ActionAid, Amnesty International UK, UNISON, Access and Christian Aid. ShareAction was shortlisted in the 'Animals and the Environment' category in the Charity Awards 2010 for its campaign work about the tar sands in Canada. In 2011, ShareAction's Chief Executive Catherine Howarth was named a "Rising Star of Corporate Governance" by Yale University's Millstein Centre. In February 2012, ShareAction was named one of "Britain's 50 new radicals" by The Observer and Nesta. The 'new radicals' are people or organisations who are "changing Britain for the better" and "applying fresh approaches". It received 'Highly Commended' in the "Advice, Support and Advocacy" category in the Charity Awards 2012 for its work lobbying FTSE 100 companies to pay their workers the Living Wage.ShareAction is the operating name of Fairshare Educational Foundation.
