The world’s biggest five industrial livestock companies together emit more greenhouse gases than ExxonMobil. If current growth trends continue, the global livestock industry will be using up almost half the world’s 1.5°C emissions budget by 2030.

Industrial livestock companies drive global deforestation, human rights abuses and inhumane factory farm systems.

Scientists recently warned that intensive livestock farming creates the “perfect breeding ground” for the development of new viruses.

But our local councils are pouring £238 million in pension fund money into industrial livestock investments.

The fossil fuel divestment movement has been inspirational: 1,485 institutions globally representing over $39.2 trillion in assets have already committed to divest from fossil fuels, helping delegitimize these companies and pave the way for regulation.

We are calling on local councils to divest from industrial livestock - will you join us?
