Hold companies accountable on the issues you care about: sign-up to be an AGM Activist 

From climate change to in-work poverty, childhood obesity to deepening inequalities, we’re facing growing environmental and social challenges on a global scale. 

It is common to feel powerless. 

But the biggest companies in the world – who too often fuel these crises – rely on our savings being invested in them to function, so we should have a voice. 

We believe that our money should power progress.  

AGM activism takes the fight for a fairer, greener, healthier society to the very heart of those companies fuelling these crises. 

Every year, the board, directors, and shareholders of all publicly listed companies come together at a company's annual general meeting (AGM) to make decisions about that company’s future.  

With just one share, you can go to a company’s AGM and challenge those with the power to make real change on the issues that matter. 

We buy just enough shares to get us into company AGMs, and we use this opportunity to challenge companies on a range of crucial topics, including: banks’ financing of fossil fuels, the Living Wage and insecure work, the impact of air quality on public health, accessibility of nutritious foods, and the Ethnicity Pay Gap. 

Sign up to influence the largest companies. 

We’ve been able to achieve significant impact from just one question being asked at an AGM.  

But, we couldn’t do it without you! 

Please let us know which issues you’d like to bring to corporate decision-makers this year, and which companies you want to hold to account (see below for full list). 

Still not sure?
