Facing Finance e.V. promotes a responsible use of money. To this end, the NGO raises awareness among institutional, public and private financial service providers as well as bank and insurance customers not to finance or invest in companies that profit from human and labour rights violations (e.g. child labour), environmental pollution, corruption, the production of weapons in violation of international law and arms exports to crisis regions. 

Facing Finance e.V. cooperates with many NGOs and is part of numerous civil society initiatives, two of which have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Facing Finance is a partner of “Banktrack” and a member of “Finanzwende”, the “Initiative Lieferkettengesetz”, the “CorA” network for corporate responsibility, the “European Responsible Investment Network” (ERIN), “Fair Finance International” (FFI), the “Campaign to Stop Killer Robots”, the “Cluster Munition Coalition”, the “International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons” (ICAN/Nobel Peace Prize 2017) and the International “Campaign to Ban Landmines” (Nobel Peace Prize 1997). 

Facing Finance campaigns have played a leading role in raising awareness among German and European financial service providers, to fully respect international treaties, social norms and environmental standards in their investment decisions.
