East Sussex Pension Fund

Description The East Sussex Pension Fund aims to provide secure pensions for its members. It achieves this by investing in a wide range of assets, highly diversified across asset classes and global markets. Approach The Fund has continued its journey of responsible investment, and more specifically with its focus on climate change risk, with ongoing work and developments continuing into the coming months and years. The Fund has taken climate strategy as one of the key focuses of its ongoing work, to develop an in depth understanding of the financial risks to the Fund of the climate emergency, and focusing on ways in which the Fund can both reduce this risk but also find opportunities to help with the energy transition to find sustainable solutions. As a result of this strategic focus, the Fund has a Statement of Responsible Investment Principles which clearly sets out the Fund’s beliefs on responsible investment and climate risk and how it manages these risks and commitments through investment decision making and implementation.
