Professional Pensions editor Jonathan Stapleton recently sat down with Eva Cairns, Head of Responsible Investment at Scottish Widows and Andrew Knell, Executive Director of Client Solutions at Robeco to discuss the growing demand for responsible pensions as UK pension savers increasingly seek to make sure their investments deliver financial return while considering the impact on people and planet.
They discussed:
- Pensions savers' views across the generations.
- Barriers to awareness and education.
- The role employers play in educating members.
- How Scottish Widows are integrating responsible investment into its new workplace default.
- The importance of responsible investing in delivering customer outcomes.
- How climate change and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are incorporated.
- The role stewardship plays.
