As the UK's workforce works from home, Andy Lewis looks at how the pensions industry can respond together to Covid-19.

Tools that can reduce business travel have long been available. The coronavirus is forcing us to use them, and the climate could benefit, says Simon Webber.

Voluntary accreditation of professional trustees will act as a quality mark and drive up scheme governance standards, argues Lesley Carline.

Business resilience is not just ensuring people can work from home, but that administration can continue without human help, says Kim Gubler.

The Pensions Regulator’s industry working group on diversity is a step in the right direction, says Elizabeth Bostock.

Schemes must do more to lessen the financial risks of climate change, says Guy Opperman.

Equality should be about improvements all round not swapping one set of discriminations for another, says Rachel Meadows.

With wider funding challenges and the need to play for the long-term, any change to inflation indexation must be swift and firm, says Sir Steve Webb.

Improving transparency of pension scheme governance will improve accountability, even if members take little notice, says Richard Butcher.

The industry needs more powers to protect savers by stopping scams in their tracks, but a network to share intel can help, says Margaret Snowdon.
