Microsoft Word - Fossil fuels RAEng letter SGR.docx

SGR calls on the Royal Academy of Engineering to phase out financial ties to companies not aligned with the Paris Agreement's 2C goal, increase transparency on corporate payments and investments, and adopt fossil-fuel-free investment indexes.

• SGR identifies three primary concerns regarding the Royal Academy of Engineering's record: ongoing financial and other ties to fossil fuel companies, a lack of transparency concerning specific company investments, and policies regarding financial ties to fossil fuels and arms companies that are considered lax when compared to peer learned societies.
• The document advocates for the rapid phase-out of financial ties, including investments and advertising, with any companies whose activities or carbon emission targets do not align with the Paris Agreement goal of 2C or less, which SGR states currently includes all major oil, gas, and coal companies.
• SGR highlights that several other professional bodies have already divested from or committed to divesting from fossil fuels and arms, including the British Medical Association, the British Psychological Society, the Royal College of Physicians, and the Royal College of General Practitioners.
