Responsible Investment Annual Report

The Responsible Investment Annual Report describes Avon Pension Fund’s long‑term approach to embedding responsible investment across all asset classes, centred on achieving a just, resilient and Paris‑aligned transition to a low‑carbon economy. The document outlines the Fund’s commitment to integrating climate risk, human rights, biodiversity protection and strong stewardship into its investment philosophy, while using capital to support real‑world solutions such as renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, natural‑capital projects and affordable housing. 

It highlights a strategy driven by measurable decarbonisation, engagement with high‑impact companies, and collaboration with industry partners to influence policy and improve ESG standards. The report presents a forward‑looking vision in which the Fund continuously expands climate data coverage, strengthens stewardship expectations, and deploys investment toward activities that deliver both long‑term financial resilience and positive environmental and social outcomes.
