Local Government Pension Scheme: Responsible Investment Survey Launch

31 October

• For Staff
• Other

For scheme members of the LGPS, please read the following from Leicestershire County Council Pension Fund.

Leicestershire County Council Pension Fund (the Fund) has launched its consultation to provide scheme members, employers and other stakeholders with an opportunity to provide their views on a range of responsible investment issues.

The Fund manages £6.7 billion of investments on behalf of over 100,000 scheme members and 200 employers to meet the costs of paying scheme member benefits in retirement.

The Fund previously engaged on key targets and the development of the Net Zero Climate Strategy in 2022/23, which the majority supported the proposed approach.

We are now looking to hear your views on the Fund’s approach to investment in relation to environmental, social and governance factors, and how we manage climate risk as part of an upcoming review into the Fund’s climate strategy. These views will be considered as part of the development of Fund policies and engagement with our partners and investment managers.

Please submit a response to the online survey
