We want our Fund to reflect the values of our members.
This month, we held our first ever member Annual General Meeting (AGM). This was not the first conversation we’ve had with our members – we hold an annual series of popular member webinars and ran an extensive member engagement exercise with members last year on responsible investment.
Our members are aware of the power of finance to drive positive change and we welcome the fact they are never afraid to share their views.
What made our first members’ AGM different was that its express purpose was for our members to meet and challenge their Pensions Committee on anything they wanted.
And these are the main things on our members’ minds.
- They want us to act with ever more urgency to tackle climate change.
- They think our net zero target of 2045 is too late.
- They want to know why we still invest in fossil fuels.
- They want a secure, well run fund.
