Pension fund giant, ABP, stops investing in factory farming
News
One of the world’s largest pension funds, ABP, was moved to adopting an animal welfare policy after you made them ‘hear’ the factory farms they were funding.
In 2022, animal lovers like you helped our Dutch team park digi-cars outside ABP's office that produced sounds from the inside of intensive factory farms. This aimed to raise awareness and push ABP to change their investment choices.
Thanks to your efforts, ABP has recently adopted a new animal welfare policy. Watch more:
Our 2022 report, ‘ABP: Investing in an uninhabitable world’, showed that ABP invests over $8 billion in companies that either (financially) support or are directly involved in factory farming, causing large-scale animal suffering, nature destruction and climate change.
Thanks to support from animal lovers like you, ABP will no longer invest in factory farming cruelty, steering away from funding major meat producers like JBS.
As one of the largest pension funds in the world, ABP has the power to create a better future for animals and the environment.
With you by our side, we will continue holding corporate giants accountable. Together, we can give farm animals a life worth living.
Factory farming
What we do
Globally, more than 80 billion animals suffer on factory farms each year, with the vast majority cruelly confined to low-welfare industrial farming systems.
How the factory farming industry is funded

Factory farming operations are typically financed by banks and investors, who allocate resources to industries that yield maximum profits.
