PART 2 The Purposeful Investment Landscape
Traditional Wealth Management
Considers how greening one's pension can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to climate solutions, thereby ensuring their investments are not supporting deforestation and fossil fuel expansion.

Make My Money Matter’s ‘Is your pension fuelling the climate crisis?’ is included as a key Part 2 reference because it documents how the UK’s £3 trillion pension pool currently finances deforestation and fossil fuel expansion (noting £88bn in fossil fuel investments and that £2 of every £10 in pensions is linked to deforestation), highlights that greening pensions can cut an individual’s carbon footprint 21× more than major lifestyle changes, and estimates pensions could mobilise £1tn for climate solutions by 2035; its Climate Action Report ranking, practical employer email templates and guidance mirror the book’s treatment of pensions as a core traditional financial vehicle in the “Traditional Wealth Management” chapter, reinforce the authors’ stated inspiration from the campaign (including the example of moving to clearer, socially responsible pension options like PensionBee), and provide the data and actionable steps the book urges readers to take to align their capital with their values.
