Schroders Webinar: Evidencing ESG Integration

With a pension scheme’s Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) now containing trustees’ policies on financially material considerations (including environmental, social and governance matters), the stewardship of investments and the extent to which members’ views are considered, attention is now on October 2020 when trustees must produce an implementation report explaining how they have followed and acted on the investment policies outlined in their SIP. Jessica Ground, Global Head of Stewardship and Lesley-Ann Morgan, Head of Multi-Asset Strategy, will discuss the upcoming need for trustees to report to scheme members on the progress they have made in integrating sustainability into their scheme’s default investment strategy. They will also examine the level of reporting available and how investment strategies have adapted to integrate ESG as part of the day-to-day investment decision making process, to help trustees meet this new requirement.
