Institutional investing has changed. Sustainable strategies are no longer considered niche; there is a strong argument that they have become mainstream, especially for long-term investors.


In response, fund managers are launching sus- tainable-themed funds that target issues such as equality, climate change and water conservation. This change in approach is partly the result of pres- sure from pension scheme members, but it is also being driven by regulators with pension schemes having to show how they are protecting savers from climate change. The government banning new petrol and diesel cars on the UK’s roads from 2030 and announcing plans to launch a sovereign green bond shows how attitudes are changing.


Because ESG investing is now a major consideration for pension schemes, we have assembled a panel of asset managers and consultants to discuss some of the biggest issues of environmental, social and governance standards.
