Through our cross-collaboration we support sustainable financing initiatives and knowledge sharing and strengthen the evidence base in cases of harmful investments to better hold financial institutions to account. By connecting these diverse national, regional and global perspectives the Fair Finance network as a whole can advise on and advocate for meaningful changes to financing systems, with positive results for citizens and communities.

💥 New Blog! Fair Finance Nigeria #FFNG recently met with the The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria - CIBN and the Banker Directors Association of Nigeria (BDAN). In this blog piece Fair Finance Nigeria outlines some of the topics discussed; from illicit financial flows, which has led to significant losses for the Nigerian economy, to how by monitoring the investments and support provided to businesses, especially in the #extractive and #fossilfuel industries, banks can mitigate adverse #environmental, #economic, and #social impacts.

🌿 Today we celebrate International #IndigenouspeoplesDay dedicated to honouring Indigenous Peoples and their knowledge and promoting and safeguarding the rights of #indigenous populations globally. This day also seeks to acknowledge the remarkable achievements and invaluable contributions made by indigenous #communities in addressing global issues, particularly #environmentalprotection. ⚠ Indigenous peoples and their way of life face many threats as in some economic sectors, such as the #mining, #oilandgas, and agriculture sectors, the risks for human rights abuses are particularly high. Traditional livelihoods can be destroyed through land acquisition (land grabs), land contamination and water pollution. Moreover, the impact can be particularly severe for certain specific groups, such as indigenous peoples, because their way of life and their identity is often closely related to their land. 💰 A very important link in the economy that can either contribute to the violation of the rights of indigenous peoples or help protect them is the #financialsector. As a result, the Fair Finance International methodology, which assesses the responsible investment and finance policies of financial institutions, includes extensive information on the #rights of Indigenous communities and contains a number of themes designed to assess and support companies and #financialinstitutions adherence to the protection of Indigenous peoples’ rights. 🎯 Find out more about the Fair Finance methodology and how the financial sector can help protect Indigenous Peoples rights, identities, their way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources ➡ https://lnkd.in/ezUft-2G #WeareIndigenous, #IndigenouspeoplesDay #SomosIndígenas #DíaPueblosIndígenas #DiaDosPovosIndígenas #responsibleinvesting #sustainablefinance Profundo

🚺 Gender equality: how does your bank compare? Fair Finance coalitions assess and rank financial institutions’ policies regarding #sustainability and social issues on 8 to 21 themes. Given our commitment to advancing #genderequality and belief that financial institutions can play a crucial role in this, gender equality is a cross-cutting core theme and is included in each assessment carried out by a Fair Finance coalition. Although we see improvements over time, it is very slow and with regional variation. The fact that in 2022 the average score across coalitions was 4.1, which is the lowest score received in the core themes, indicates a great deal more must be done to achieve #genderjustice. See more ➡ https://lnkd.in/edz5AWbc 💸 We know #women are more likely to be excluded from formal financial systems – in fact one billion women still do not use or have access to the financial system, thus rendering women more vulnerable to economic and social exclusion. Research has also shown that where women do have access to bank accounts there is persistent gender inequality in terms of #loans and #investments made to women. 📃 The Fair Finance methodology tries to address these issues using a variety of elements in its Gender Equality theme that can be assessed when looking at #financialinstitutions policies. This ranges from policies to prevent and mitigate #genderdiscrimination, to questions on participation and equal access of women in Board of Directors and senior management levels, from policies on equal renumeration to the inclusion of clauses on compliance with gender and women’s rights in contracts. Fair Finance International assesses banks on gender policies and FF coalitions conduct case studies to check whether financing practices align with policies. See examples here ➡: https://lnkd.in/e_iHa_6i, here➡: https://lnkd.in/entGNAgn and here➡: https://lnkd.in/ehzxkhbV ♎ It is high time financial institutions and the financial sector at large consider the direct impact investment policies and practices have on the socio-economic situation of women worldwide and work to put in place gender-just financial policies and practices. 🔎 Find out more about the Fair Finance methodology and how the financial sector can do better for women and be a solution for gender inequality rather than a cause ➡: https://lnkd.in/ezUft-2G #esg #sustainablefinance #responsibleinvesting Kees Kodde Bram Joanknecht Profundo

📢 BREAKING! New research reveals a staggering $4.3 trillion of institutional investments in #fossilfuels. 2024 was supposed to be the year of #climatefinance – yet pension funds, asset managers, insurers and hedge funds are still deep in coal, oil and gas. The new Investing in Climate Chaos report by Urgewald and 17 NGO partners, including Fair Finance International, exposes the fossil fuel holdings of over 7,500 institutional investors worldwide finding, amongst others, that investors and asset managers from 10 countries are responsible for 91% of institutional investments in the fossil fuel industry. These countries are the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, India, China, Norway, Switzerland, France and Germany.
