Responsible investing
When you put money into your pension savings, our investment management business, L&G Asset Management invests it in company shares (among other places) with the aim of helping your savings grow.
As well as caring about your financial future L&G Asset Management believes that we have a responsibility to consider the effect that these companies have on the world around us. That’s why L&G Asset Management considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in its investment process.
- Environment – covers matters affecting the wellbeing of our planet.
- Social – issues that affect the fair treatment of people.
- Governance – is about the way companies are run.
L&G Asset Management becomes a shareholder in the companies it invests in and strives to effect positive change, by engaging and voting on important ESG issues to challenge them to do better. For example, L&G Asset Management can challenge a company to change its environmental policies, increase its board diversity or improve workers’ rights.
Ultimately, L&G Asset Management believes that companies that manage ESG risks and opportunities, make better long-term investments for our members.
