ESG: time for real engagement

Last year, pension schemes updated their Statement of Investment Principles to reflect the new requirements on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors.

However this is only the start of the ESG investment journey, particularly as we look to rebuilding an economy based on sustainable investment. 

Sonia explores the different stages of this journey and brings to light the following areas to address:

• Complying with the regulations is a first step but how can investors drive real change in these areas?
• Why it’s important to revisit your ESG policies set out in your SIP
• How to make a difference in the areas of climate change and engagement irrespective of pension scheme size
