Market Forces exists to help shift finance and investment away from environmentally damaging activities, and into those that protect and enhance the environment.
They conduct research that helps members and customers of financial institutions join the dots between themselves and projects that have positive and negative effects on the environment, and offer tools that empower people to change the behaviour of their financial institution.
Market Forces also helps stakeholders confront corporate decision-makers, ensuring their voices are heard on issues where culture, environment and community are at risk.
In barely three years, Market Forces can measure their success in billions of dollars being divested or withheld from polluting fossil fuel projects, dozens of financial intuitions taking public stances away from coal, tar sands and unconventional gas, and thousands of people supported to vote with their money and choose how their personal finances impact the environment.
