Our default fund is invested in a sustainable way
Most pension schemes have an aim to invest in sustainable funds in the future. We focus on investing in companies with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials who are working to reduce carbon emissions and improve the world we live in.
Over 90% of members are in our default investment strategy, which means the vast majority of our members have retirement savings that are already helping to create positive change in the world.
Our default growth fund will be net zero by 2040. This is ten years earlier than 2050, which is when most pension providers are committing to be net zero.
Additionally, we set ourselves the target of reducing emissions from our default growth fund by 50% by 2025 – and we’ve already achieved this, two years ahead of schedule.
We are focused on impact investing
Impact investing means investing into projects or businesses that benefit local communities, such as education, clinical research and renewable energy, as well as providing a strong potential financial return. We are committed to investing in impact funds, which will help make a real difference to the communities we live in.
