Climate change in action 🌍 While we all try to play our part, perhaps by recycling or biking to work, the need for broader action is clear. Climate action will likely drive the biggest economic change in our lifetimes. At NOW: Pensions, we're committed to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with a 50% reduction from 2019 levels by 2030. This aligns with the Paris Climate Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. 🌡️ The way we invest your money aims to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. We believe acting now offers the best long-term financial outcomes for our pension savers. 💡 Learn more about our commitment to climate action in our stewardship policy👉https://ow.ly/x0Ok50SXya3 #climateaction #netzero #sustainableinvesting #parisagreement #stewardshippolicy #spotlightonstewardship

Government launches new Pensions Review🏛️ What does the new Pensions Review mean for workplace pensions? 📝 The government launched its much-anticipated review of pensions and retirement savings over the weekend. NOW: Pensions welcomes the announcement, as we recognise the urgent need for a strategic and consensus-driven approach to address issues in the UK pension system. The Pensions Review will initially focus on investment. There’s clearly a shared interest for pension schemes and government regarding investment potential – to simultaneously support economic growth and achieve better pension outcomes. However, it’s key that member interests remain front and centre of initiatives. ⭐ The second part of the review, which is due in coming months, will focus on adequacy. We’re very supportive of this focus and have long been calling for a collaborative development of a roadmap for the future of automatic enrolment to support addressing this challenge. Our blog explores key themes we believe are essential for effective policy solutions for the Pensions Review and the development of the Pension Schemes Bill.
