FOREWORD
Redington remains committed to sustainable investment. It’s core to our mission of helping to make 100 million people financially secure – for the benefit of people and planet.
Sustainability is crucial for the world we live in today, especially for long-term investors, like Redington’s clients, who have responsibilities to hundreds of thousands of individual beneficiaries. Sustainability matters to them: they need financial security and for the world they live in and retire into to be habitable. We were delighted to be certified as a B Corp in 2022 – becoming a member of the growing community of companies around the world that meet a rigorous set of standards across social and environmental performance.
Becoming a B Corp isn’t a change in our approach, but a recognition of the business that Redington already is and will always strive to be.
As a B Corp, we aim to deliver not only for our shareholders, but also for the communities in which we operate, our clients and their beneficiaries, the environment and our people. We seek to ensure that our governance fully reflects this. Throughout this report, we consider our performance in each of the B Corp stakeholder categories – and against an appropriate benchmark – and also identify areas for improvement.
We remain strong supporters of the UK Stewardship Code 2020; and as part of our delivery against this standard, we’ve been building engagement tools and supporting clients in their role as asset owners to be clearer in their expectations of their fund managers, and to hold those managers to account for the effectiveness of their stewardship efforts. We also remain committed to net zero and helping our clients achieve their climate ambitions.
We believe in clarity and honesty in our advice to clients and apply the same principles in reporting on our own activities.
After due consideration, Redington’s Sustainable Investment Committee and I are satisfied that this report is a fair, balanced and understandable summary of our approach and activities in these areas for the calendar year 2022.
We see a need for the investment world to become more sustainable, and we commit to continue over 2023 and beyond to do more to ensure that sustainability and stewardship are more fully integrated into our advice and our clients’ thinking.
