Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Two-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if the council has passed a motion supporting the commitment to divest the council's own assets or investments.
Second tier criteria met if the council has passed a motion supporting the divestment of the council's pension investments, which is an indicative vote in favour of divesting the corresponding pension fund.
Divestment is the opposite of investment, and consists of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical, and in this case, invested in fossil fuel companies such as Shell, BP and Exxon.
