BW CORE, our pension governance system, has won the 'Innovation Award' at the 2026 Pensions Age Awards, reflecting the positive role the platform is already playing in helping our clients rise to the challenge of General Code compliance.
Celebrating pensions schemes, providers and consultants, the Pensions Age Awards champions those going above and beyond to tackle the challenges the industry is facing.
Simplifying pensions governance
Standing for Calendar, Own risk assessment, Risk register, and Effective system of governance, BW CORE is our comprehensive yet flexible system that streamlines pension scheme governance processes, helping pension schemes comply with the obligations and expectations set out in The Pensions Regulator’s General Code.
Speaking on the award, Partner and Head of Pensions Governance and Secretariat Lucy Cresswell said: "I'm thrilled that our BW CORE platform has been recognised with the ‘Innovation Award’, demonstrating our dedication to solving real-world governance challenges in the pension industry."
"We saw an opportunity to simplify compliance with the General Code by creating a dynamic system that brings together all the requirements for an effective system of governance, risk register and own risk assessment. This recognition reinforces our position as pioneers in developing practical solutions that make a genuine difference to how pension schemes operate."
