Responsible Investment

LGPS Central and its Partner Funds are committed to responsible investment, and our approach is detailed in our Responsible Investment & Engagement Framework.

We believe that the integration of responsible investment factors supports long-term risk-adjusted returns. We have made responsible investment a core part of our investment process in every asset class and in every investment mandate we hold.

Our commitment to the transition to a low carbon economy is further outlined in our Net Zero Statement that can be downloaded here.

Our RI&E function has two objectives:

Primarily, to support investment objectives; Secondarily, to be an exemplar for RI within the financial services industry, promote collaboration, and raise standards across the marketplace.

We seek to attain these objectives through a three-pillar framework comprising Selection (of assets), Stewardship (of assets), and Transparency & Disclosure.

TCFD Reporting

We at LGPS Central Limited are fully aware that Climate Change poses potentially catastrophic risks, both now and in the future. The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was established with the goal of developing a set of voluntary, climate-related financial risk disclosures which help organisations better understand and control the risks and opportunities climate change means for them.

We have supported TCFD reporting since we launched as a Company for a number of years and calls for all firms, including the companies we invest in, to adopt its reporting standards. Our most recent 2023 TCFD Report can be found here. (Read our 2022 report here)
