We focus on doing the right thing for our colleagues, the planet, our clients and our communities. ESG is a very important factor to us and one of our Core Values is Creating Impact. The decisions we make impact over 10m members. We seek to use this position, as well as our voice in the industry, to promote sustainability and drive responsible investment.
We believe the adoption of responsible investment practices will lead to better financial outcomes for members, through better management of material ESG risks and opportunities, in particular climate change, over the longer term.
The first module of our digital pensions platform IGGiQ, is ESG Insight. Helping trustees and investment managers better understand and integrate ESG factors such as biodiversity, climate and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing long-term outcomes for beneficiaries while ensuring transparency for all stakeholders.
We believe the way in which pension funds are invested has significant impact on the future of our economy, environment and society.
