Today, at 3rd Reading of the #PensionSchemesBill, responding to calls from Baroness Hayman, government committed to produce new guidance to clarify investment duties so pension funds can account for systemic risks like #ClimateChange. 🧵
It's been a year since @mchshe.bsky.social's documentary was shown - find out what has happened in the #FairBankingForAll campaign since then.
'Pension schemes are powerful investors in the economy. The decisions they make today will shape not only financial outcomes for retirees, but also the kind of world those retirees will live in'

Participants appear in home or office settings, including bookshelves, curtains, and a softly blurred background. At the bottom, a man sits in an office with another person behind him.
Thank you Martin Rhodes MP for meeting again with Glasgow residents who have lived experienced of exclusion from affordable credit.
Great to discuss the #FairBankingAct as well as delivery & timelines for the government's Financial Inclusion Strategy.
#FairBankingForAll
Great news for the #CreditUnion sector 🙌🙌🙌
This will mean millions more people can become credit union members and have access to affordable credit - helping families avoid high-cost credit and build financial resilience. A big win for financial inclusion.

This is also why we're calling for a #FairBankingAct - to help remove barriers which stop credit unions and other purpose- finance institutions from growing and thriving.
Today's debate between @carolinelucas.bsky.social & Michael Gove was a test for where we've got to on pensions policy and climate risk - and it's so great to see that 2/3 of industry agree more action is needed (and that our proposals were highlighted) www.pensionsage.com/pa/Pensions-...

Our friends at @shareaction.bsky.social have launched a new campaign responding to the worrying trend that some of the UK's biggest banks are weakening their climate commitments just when stronger action is needed.

Even after the UK phased out coal power, pension schemes are still financing coal overseas. This risks savers’ money and the climate — which is why peers are calling for stronger Government action via the Pension Schemes Bill.

People want to retire with a decent income and a liveable planet. 🌎💷
New research by @thefinancelab.bsky.social and LINGO finds that UK pensions are still backing coal - threatening both.
⌛ The Government must act ⌛

Divesting from thermal coal is good for pension savers and planet.
That’s why I and @greenparty.org.uk support amendment to #PensionSchemesBill to make pension schemes phase out investments in the most polluting fossil fuels
#ClimateEmergency #PublicHealth
UK pension funds are still financing coal expansion abroad — despite the UK phasing out coal at home.
“It is absurd that our pension funds continue to finance its expansion overseas.”
Our new briefing shows why it’s time to divest.
👉 filab.uk/3O07Qvn
New @thefinancelab.bsky.social research shows UK pension schemes have c. £10.5bn invested in coal companies.
Peers have proposed practical changes to the #PensionsSchemesBill to support an orderly divestment - to protect pension savers and the planet.
financeinnovationlab.org/insights/uk-...
More than £10.5bn of UK pension savings are invested in thermal coal - the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel.
That’s bad for pension savers, the economy, and the climate.

Without changes to ensure everyone can save enough, pensioner poverty will only grow.
We’re developing proposals for a minimum pension saving level which could deliver a decent retirement income for all.

Big moment for fair finance.
Gareth Thomas MP’s Ten Minute Rule Bill for a Fair Banking Act has passed. It would rate banks on equitable access to credit and push real support for underserved communities and SMEs

#FairBankingForAll
Yesterday, Labour and Co-operative MP for Harrow West Gareth Thomas introduced the Fair Banking Bill.
It's based on legislation that's worked in the USA, and would transform access to finance for low income individuals and small and medium sized businesses.
