2019 is the year that ESG has now become crucial for pension funds to consider, understand and implement in their investments. From October 1, pension schemes will be required to include details of their ESG policies within their Statement of Investment Principles (SIPs). Guy Opperman also stressed his commitment to ESG and the important role pension funds must play requiring trustees to document how they assess risks from climate change and risks from the low carbon transition. However, there is still a lot of doubt, confusion over the right route, and lack of understanding around ESG investing despite the ever increasing responsibility to select the right sustainable investments. ESG, SRI, impact investing, do you clearly know the difference? This focus will provide a fantastic opportunity for key decision makers of workplace pensions to come together and learn from the very best in the industry to better understand the nuances involved with sustainable investing.
