Our sustainable investments.

Sustainable investments are a key part of the Scheme’s investment strategy and our journey to net zero. They provide long-term value and reduce risk in the Scheme, helping us protect members’ pensions. But they also strive to have a positive impact on the world and help us reduce the Scheme’s greenhouse gas emissions. We’ve shared more details about some of our current sustainable investments below.
