Scheme members are increasingly aware of what a sustainable future means. Many are interested in topics like climate change, environmental impact and social fairness, and recognise that their pensions can play a role in supporting positive outcomes.

The regulatory landscape continues to evolve, with a continued focus on integrating and reporting on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, including climate-related considerations.

Future-proofing a pension scheme means taking responsible investment into account, and we’re here to support you and your scheme members every step of the way.

Watch the video below to find out how our responsible investing approach supports better member outcomes.

£500 million in climate solutions (investments directly contributing to climate mitigation and/or adaption) by the end of 2026.

As at 31 March 2026.  1 Targets set in 2019. Measured using carbon footprint across our full range of default funds. Emissions targets don't apply to individual funds. 2030 target applies to scope 1 and 2 emissions from listed equities and corporate fixed income only.

The value of investments may go down as well as up. The value of a scheme member's pension savings may be less than they invested. 

Responsible investment in our workplace solutions

Our core default solutions use exclusionary screening and tilts to manage long-term ESG risks and opportunities as standard. We also offer self-select funds with different responsible investment approaches and themes. Choose a workplace solution below to find out more:
