FOREWORD
We have also seen wider changes in the investment industry, with some investors retreating from their former positions on key sustainable investment issues, not least climate change.
As a business, we remain committed to delivering the inputs that our clients need to provide the investment outcomes their beneficiaries require, over the time horizons that matter to them. We hold fast to our mission, to help make 100 million people financially secure, for the benefit of people and planet.
Financial security for people into retirement continues to require investment approaches that incorporate considerations of sustainable investment, including climate change and other long-term risks. The harm we as humans are causing to our world is becoming ever-more clear, and it is growing increasingly apparent how investment returns could be impacted over the time horizons that matter to our clients, and their members and beneficiaries.
Nevertheless, the world economy is shifting only slowly towards a decarbonised future, and we are conscious that our clients need to stay invested in the real world, not become detached from economic realities. This means that our investment advice in matters of sustainable investment in some areas is becoming more nuanced, and it also raises the importance of the stewardship lever to deliver real-world outcomes whilst remaining exposed across the economy. Our clients are also increasingly conscious of the need for engagement in matters of public policy and best practice to help deliver the broader context within which the world economy can shift.
This report offers detailed insights into how we are delivering this across our investment advice to clients, our support for their stewardship activities, and our work in developing higher market standards for sustainability, including through our participation in regulatory developments.
As in previous years, we use this single report to reflect Redington’s various sustainability commitments. In this sense, it is our Stewardship Code report, it is our Impact Report against the expectations of our B Corp status, and it reflects the undertakings we have made as participants in the two main initiatives for the investment consulting profession itself - the Investment Consultants Sustainability Working Group and the Net Zero Investment Consultants Initiative.
After due consideration and ongoing dialogue with key members of the team, I and Redington’s entire senior management team are satisfied that this report is a fair, balanced and understandable summary of our approach and activities in these areas for the calendar year 2024.
I remain proud to lead an organisation with such a clear mission and a team dedicated to supporting our clients, as well as their end-members and beneficiaries. As Redington develops we will see that work develop also, and I am excited to drive us forward in helping to deliver real-world outcomes that secure the financial futures of those members and beneficiaries.
