How Green Is Your Pension?

Overview

An eight-step strategy for making the planet greener and pension savings more resilient—grounded in the realities of trustee decision-making.

Who it’s for

Trustees, scheme managers, investment consultants and members who want a practical way to move from concern to constructive oversight.

Do you worry about the planet we are leaving to our children and grandchildren? Do you wonder where your pension is invested, and whether it is invested in good things or bad? Do you want to know more about the risks your pension may face in a changing world?

You might have started paying into a pension in your twenties, and expect it to pay for your care home in your eighties. Over that timescale, your money is at risk, both physically, from environmental change, and economically, as governments change policy and markets.

But did you know that the biggest single thing that you can do to make a difference to the planet is to invest your pension differently?

This book will show you how, through the eight-step pension ‘STRATEGY’ to make the planet greener and your money safer. You will…

  • Identify how your money is invested now, and what you can do differently.

  • Understand the risks and costs we face, particularly from climate change.

  • Understand how policy drives a changed investment environment, and creates both risk and opportunity.

  • Understand how impacts, risks, and financial performance can be measured, so you can manage your pension differently.

  • Understand key threats and opportunities for your money through case studies.

  • Understand through case studies how pension fund management is changing and what you can ask of your pension fund managers to do better.

  • Find out how to work with colleagues to drive change in workplace pensions—or, if you prefer, how to take your money out of your provider and manage it yourself.
