Incorporating sustainability into journey planning

We believe that effective implementation can create a multiplier effect and positively contribute to more sustainable capital markets. This is why, in partnership with Pensions Expert, we’re pleased to present our trustees’ guide; “Incorporating sustainability into journey planning”. Colleagues from across the Cardano businesses have come together to present the team’s best ideas in a series of articles.

While many pension funds have made commitments to integrate sustainability into their scheme journey planning, we think that there is further work to do. The articles go through the subject logically from fundamental foundations towards the more applied considerations for more sustainable investment practices. Readers can jump to the article most relevant for their next step in their ESG ‘to do list’. The report covers:

• Training, beliefs and governance
• Embedding sustainability into the assessment of the corporate sponsor
• The relationship between financial performance, ESG issues and real-world sustainability impact
• Incorporating sustainability into asset allocation
• Scenarios
• Equity investing
• Stewardship
• Sustainability in manager research
• Impact strategies in portfolios
• Sustainability in DC schemes
