Issued new responsible policy

The London Pensions Fund Authority has presented a new responsible investment policy, which it said will see it increase its monitoring and engagement activity around specific social, governance and environmental issues affecting its portfolio.

Policy shaped by member input

The policy was shaped with input from members. Hewitt said the fund learned from over 3,000 members who responded to a member survey in 2023, and that the RI policy includes fair pay and diversity, equity and inclusion in its priorities.
