what is fossil fuel divestment
Fossil fuel investments are a risk for both investors and the planet, so weâre calling on institutions to divest from these companies. Divestment is also to end to fossil fuel sponsorship. Fossil fuels companies cultivate sponsorship relationships to help create a âsocial licence to operateâ. This contributes to the veneer of legitimacy that enables them to keep expanding operations at a time of climate crisis and to stifle the demands for justice of those communities who live on the frontline of their destructive, polluting operations.
