We believe that pension fund executives and managers must update and strengthen their proxy voting guidelines to ensure strong climate voting policies.

Far too many public pensions, even in progressive cities and states, regularly vote against climate action. 

In a first-of-its-kind report, “The Hidden Risk in State Pensions” analyzes and grades the proxy voting guidelines and past voting power of major public state pension funds. The analysis reveals that no public pension in the country is doing enough to tackle the climate crisis and reduce the climate risk in its portfolio.

The good news is that a guide has already been written to achieve this.

Will you help ensure that “The Hidden Risk in State Pensions” lands in the inboxes of these major public state pension funds’ executives and managers?

Send a first-of-its-kind report to major pension fund execs and managers
