Our approach
Being a responsible business has always been important to us. Doing the right thing is at the core of our strategy and how we operate across the business. So much so, it is embedded within our corporate purpose, mission, vision and values.
Our purpose
We exist to shape and support safe, robust and well-understood pension schemes for the benefit of people and society.
Our mission
We strive to be leaders in pensions, investment consulting and administration with brilliant people and leading technology delivering better outcomes for pension scheme members and rewarding careers for our people.
Our vision
We will constantly challenge the pensions industry to improve and achieve better outcomes for members.
The sustainability approach we have in place to ensure we are the responsible business we aspire to be is focused on five pillars below, each with their own overriding goal.
Our practices are reflected in our membership of the FTSE4Good Index, and Business in the Community – the Prince’s Responsible Business Network.
Governance
To operate to a high standard of corporate governance across all our activities.
Employees
To create a supportive environment, one in which all our people can thrive, belong and progress in their careers.
Clients
To help clients and pension scheme members achieve better outcomes by providing sustainable solutions and advice.
Communities

Our approach to sustainability
To ensure we incorporate market best practice at all times and that we meet the needs and expectations of all our stakeholders, our approach to sustainability is constantly evolving. So, whenever we achieve any of our goals, we’ll set ourselves more targets and then get to work to deliver these too.
Our sustainability approach is a journey, one that will continue to evolve.
