Episode 8 | Catherine Howarth - Turning shareholding into action

In this episode of The Transition Tapes, Hugh Wheelan with Catherine Howarth, OBE, Chief Executive of ShareAction, the European NGO that pushes for ambitious standards in responsible investment. 
Catherine also serves on the board of NEST pensions, is a member of the Financial Conduct Authority’s advisory committee on sustainable finance and of HM Treasury’s Asset Management Taskforce. 

In the conversation, they discuss ShareAction’s latest campaigns and the broader debates shaping the future of responsible investment. Among the topics:

  • how and why ShareAction is campaigning for more pension fund mini-publics as Nest, the giant UK pension fund, carries one out itself

  • what ShareAction’s major shareholding voting recommendations are for 2026, and why?

  • the pushback on physical AGMs and why ShareAction is fighting against it

  • air pollution: an under-discussed issue with major public health ramifications, and tightening policy and legal frameworks

Catherine reflects on how she and her team stay motivated amid increasing ESG pushback and political headwinds.

As for every Transition Tapes episode, she shares her favourite music - an eclectic mix of country, classical and folk with an undercurrent of social struggle:
