Two tier criteria
Criteria met if the combined authority's pension fund has committed to partially divesting. For example, it has committed to divesting only from coal, tar sands or oil before 2030.
Additional points if the pension fund has committed to divest from all fossil fuels before 2030.
Divestment is the opposite of investment, and consists of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical, and in this case, invested in fossil fuel companies such as Shell, BP and Exxon.
Where the combined authority does not have control over its own pension investments, such as where the pension fund is pooled between local authorities, we are looking for a commitment from the pooled pension fund.
