We're aiming to deliver impact

We’re here to help people secure a life of possibilities. It’s this purpose that drives everything we do.

And, as the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business, we have the scale, ambition and strategy to make it happen.

We want to help people journey to and through retirement while shaping a better future for us all.

That’s why our purpose-led approach focuses on two areas - people and planet.

People

Helping people build better financial futures

We want to help people live better longer lives. This means tackling the pension savings gap and supporting people to have better financial futures through promoting financial wellness and the role of good work and skills.

Planet

We want to help shape a better future

This means delivering good outcomes for our customers, playing a key role in delivering a net zero economy and understanding and taking action to manage our impact and dependency on nature. With £292bn assets under administration, we have the responsibility and opportunity to help drive economy-wide decarbonisation, while maximising value for customers and shareholders.

We’re investing in a sustainable future by transitioning our investment portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we have ambitious targets to halve our emissions by 2030.

We’re collaborating with government, industry and regulators to drive system-wide change to unlock sustainable investment at scale. This is critical for our own Net Zero Transition Plan and to support the wider decarbonisation of the economy.

Responsible Business

To deliver positive impact for people and planet, we must lead by example.
We embed good governance in everything we do, ensuring we’re doing the right things in the right way. 

We set targets and follow up with transparent reporting of our progress. Maintaining high standards of conduct and transparency are vital to our approach.

We set expectation for our partners to do the same, such as our suppliers and asset managers, and collectively aim to deliver system-wide change that’s good for our planet, our society and our business.
