WE DID IT!!!!!! 8 years of relentless campaigning with so many beautiful people! This might very well be the single largest @350 divestment in history! @abppensioen you have finally turned #ABPfossielvrij: (a very late) welcome to the good side of history! 1/
We went from this ... 2/ @ABPFossielvrij
And, now, @Corien_Wortmann: 3/
And everything here repeats our arguments of past 8yrs. Investing in fossil fuels is wrong, stopping that won't cause financial penalty & there is recognition that *people power* played its part! 4/ abp.nl/over-abp/duurz…
So: @abppensioen divests €15bln from fossil fuel companies with >1% of turnover coming from coal, oil, or gas business. *AND* it will all be directed to renewables and smart solutions for the energy transition. ABPs endowment, half a trillion €, will be fossil free by 2023! /5

1/ Ik heb ​alle mediaberichten gelezen over de ​overwinning v @FossielvrijNL campagne @ABPFossielvrij. Na 8 jr campagne voeren besloot @abppensioen gister €15 miljard te divesteren uit fossiel. ABP & journalisten erkennen onze rol. Fijn. Dat is vaak anders. Maarrr: een draadje
2/ De groepen die bijdroegen aan deze overwinning komen zelf nagenoeg niet aan het woord in de media. We staan vooral leuk op beeld. Blije vierende mensen. In plaats daarvan worden professionals met vrij irrelevante expertisegebieden uitgenodigd voor reflecties over of ABP's
3/ besluit nou wel/niet klimaatverandering tegengaat & wel/niet bijdraagt aan energietransitie.​ ​Enorm gemiste kans​. De beleggingsexpert, de finance professor​, de engagement professional, dit zijn niet de lui die bij uitstek sociale verandering begrijpen.
