Responsible investing is at the heart of what we do. Working with partner funds in Brunel and other like-minded investors, we exert collective influence to make positive real-world impact.
1. Climate change poses an existential threat to the wider world and long-term investments.
2. There is increasing convergence between financial returns and climate-friendly investments.
3. Working with like-minded investors, we can engage companies to make a positive real-world impact.
Asset allocation: we invest in sustainable companies aligning with net zero.
Stewardship: we actively engage companies and vote for positive change.
Collaboration: we work with other Brunel funds and exert influence through membership of the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change and Climate Action 100+.
Local: we make positive impact through investing in assets such as affordable housing and solar.
By collaborating through Brunel (£36 billion) and with other LGPS Funds (£360 billion) we have a powerful collective voice.
