The global investment system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face today. Investors, as holders of capital and owners of the companies they invest in, have an influence on corporate practice. They influence which companies find it easier or harder to access finance and can use engagement tactics to influence the companies they’re invested in. Through their investment decisions and company engagement, investors can support a transition to a more sustainable, healthier way of living - this is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment. ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the investment system better serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide.

Topics may include workplace health, air quality, nutrition. You will be writing up research into high-quality briefing reports for both internal and external audiences. Communicating research findings to a range of audiences, and through different means, for example via webinars or verbally in meetings. Organising, representing, and supporting ShareAction at events to disseminate research findings. Developing research plans and approaches, delivering outputs in a timely way. Spotting for new programme opportunities and taking the initiative in researching these and bringing them back to the team.
