As deficits skyrocket, bond investors have an opportunity to engage with governments to try to ensure they tackle climate change, argues Thomas Dillon.

The Environment Agency Pension Fund (EAPF) will cut its carbon emissions by 50% from a 2010 baseline level by the end of this decade on its trajectory to net zero.

With so much for trustees to grapple with currently, Stephanie Baxter looks at the most important questions they should be asking about ESG.

Despite Brexit, indirect EU impacts are expected to influence how UK schemes and their asset managers stay alert to ESG issues, writes Charlotte Moore.

The government will consult on mandating the use of simpler annual statements while also setting out an approach to a “pension statement season”, says Guy Opperman.

Trustees should not automatically dismiss investments in certain sectors on the basis of their core operations but consider their wider fiduciary duty to members, says Richard Butcher.

Adrian Boulding and Dr Daniel Philps look at how artificial intelligence will make it easier for investors to understand the ESG performance of their investee companies.

Four in five (81%) industry professionals believe defined benefit (DB) schemes should choose their own framework and pathway to net-zero rather than following set prescriptions.

The Pension Schemes Act 2021 will revolutionise savings and help build back better and greener, says Guy Opperman.

Enhanced criminal and civil sanctions for defined benefit (DB) scheme negligence have become law after the Pension Schemes Act 2021 gained its place on the statute book.
