UKSIF launches 2011 biennial survey on responsible investment practices of UK corporate pension funds

UKSIF has this week launched the 2011 “Responsible Business: Sustainable Pension” survey to help major UK corporate pension funds learn more about best practice in Responsible Investment (RI) and how trustees are responding to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and challenges in the practical implementation of RI policies.

The survey is being sent out as part of a biennial study conducted by the UKSIF Sustainable Pensions Project. It builds on earlier surveys in 2007 and 2009 and will enable the pension fund industry to track progress on RI implementation over time.

New questions for 2011 include how pension funds are implementing the UK Stewardship Code and whether trustees have held in-depth discussions on major issues like climate change.
