The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has failed to emphasise the importance of responsible investing, according to ShareAction.

Trustees must distinguish between financial and non-financial factors when thinking about ethical and environmental, social and governance issues (ESG), the Law Commission says.

Requests for environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk monitoring are on the increase as investors show greater interest in responsible investment, AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) says.

Investment consultants must support pension scheme trustees in targeting environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, Association of Member Nominated Trustees (AMNT) founding co-chairman Barry Parr says.

Executive pay at financial institutions remains the most high-profile responsible investment topic, despite increasing interest in human rights, F&C Investments says.

ShareAction has launched a campaign to allow pension scheme members to contact funds with concerns over pay policies in the businesses they invest in.

More than half of the British public want pension funds to hold the companies they invest in to account on tax and pay issues.
