In this issue, we look at our new Climate Change Policy which represents a strengthening of our approach to climate change and lays the groundwork for future transition plan reporting. We also provide an update on how we’re integrating environmental, social and governance issues into our investment decisions.
Gillian de Candole, Head of Responsible Investment, talks about our new Climate Change Policy:
“Climate change is a systematic issue presenting financially material investments making it a stewardship priority. Our new Climate Change Policy sets out actions we’re taking to enhance the resilience of our investment strategy, as well as how we support real-world transition to net zero, recognising this requires a significant change in the shape and structure of the global economy, including a shift away from fossil fuels.”
2025 has also been an award-winning year for Lothian Pension Fund with a run of success, including winning the LGPS Fund of the Year at the Local Authority Pension Funds (LAPF) Investment Awards and LGC Fund of the Year (Large) at the LGC Investment Awards.
