Many pension schemes have committed to net-zero goals – but what does that really mean, and how do they achieve it? 🌱 Some are going beyond Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) reporting and developing their own transition plans. Join us for an all-member session on 14 November, 10:00 GMT where leading experts from Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), Nest pensions, Phoenix Group, Rethinking Capital, Tikehau Capital and Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT), will offer practical advice on making these strategies a reality. 💡 Following the panel discussion, we’ll break into smaller, mixed-stakeholder groups to dive deeper into how these transition plans can take shape. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain actionable insights into the journey towards net-zero for pension schemes! #NetZero #SustainableFinance #PensionsforPurpose https://ow.ly/TgpY50TIQ98

We are delighted to announce we have published our third case study on behalf of Aon MasterTrust. Pensions for Purpose now manages the Supporters, Adopters and case studies, of the Impact Investing Principles, as well as gathering and reviewing annual evidence from investment consultants and fiduciary managers on their progress. Our case study series will showcase best practice and how far Adopters of the Principles have come on their impact journey. The Aon MasterTrusts’ impact investment story so far: Aon is a signatory of the UK Stewardship Code, submitting their first report last year and another this year, demonstrating their commitment to transparent and responsible stewardship practices. In this case study, Aon describe how they were fortunate enough to benefit from an enlightened internal governance group allowing their impact investing journey to evolve naturally. We hope other pension funds will follow Aon’s lead by adopting the Principles for Pensions as well. Visit our Impact Investing Principles for Pensions page for more information: https://ow.ly/aZtJ50TIHOx Or attend our online, all-member event on 17 October 2024, at 09:30-10:45 BST, to learn how to get involved: https://ow.ly/TvoN50TIHOz #ThePrinciples #ImpactInvestment #PensionsforPurpose https://ow.ly/Mr1V50TIHOy
