Responsible Investment

Responsible Investment is commonly defined as an approach which seeks to integrate environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into investment management processes and ownership practices. Given the long-term horizon of its investment strategy (and the increased likelihood that these factors play out over longer time periods), TPT is committed to managing the risks and opportunities that these trends present across all markets and asset classes. 

As a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment, we have a Responsible Investment approach built into the way we work and how we select our investment managers.

Net zero emissions by 2050

TPT is a member of the Paris Aligned Asset Owners Group. Alongside other major global asset owners with collective assets totalling $1.9tn, TPT has committed to achieving a net zero emission portfolio - helping to drive the transition to a low carbon economy - by 2050.

We believe that climate change represents a risk to the long-term value of our investment portfolio, and has the potential to reduce the security of our members’ retirement benefits. By continuing to allocate capital to sustainable businesses, in line with our investment objectives, we reduce this risk while also supporting the expansion of climate solutions.

Investing ethically

We also believe that members and employers should be able to reflect their ethical beliefs in their investment decisions, and so have an ethical option for both our Defined Contribution and our Defined Benefit schemes.
