Richard Curtis
Film Director & Co Founder
Richard Curtis, the Love Actually director and Comic Relief co-founder, has launched a campaign that aims to give consumers choice and voice over where the 3tn in UK pensions goes and that it’s invested to build a better future.
Make My Money Matter describes itself as “a people-powered campaign” that is looking to ramp up public demand for investments that do good and help with the transition towards a zero-carbon world.
Fittingly for a filmmaker who made one of actor Julia Roberts’ best-known movies, Curtis said that with pensions, “there’s an element that we’re in an Erin Brockovich situation … People don’t know what a company is doing, and the public aren’t aware of what is being done [with their money]”.
This was recorded at the 2020 event for Responsible Asset Owners
