Understanding our responsibility
As we strive to “help to make 100 million people financially secure”, we believe sustainability is key. There is little point securing retirement income, if the world is uninhabitable when you come to spend it. That’s why, environmental and social factors run through our DNA as a business, effecting every decision we make.

Let's Start
At the core of what we do
Redington signed the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI) in May 2015. We’ve used the code to guide our decisions ever since. ESG is at the heart of everything we do – in three ways.
- We match your money with your world view
- We strive for better
- Set the agenda. Raise the profile
Redington’s ESG advice is clear, implementable and based on high quality research. The workshop they ran was interactive and engaging and received great feedback from our Trustees...
Beyond the words
Our methods are tried and tested. We make a tangible, and significant, impact.A fund for the future
We have helped DC, wealth management and LGPS clients design and implement new sustainable funds. We have helped with decisions on objectives, benchmarks and target impact levels, and assisted with recommended asset allocation and style blends. We have also managed full bespoke manager selection exercises and assisted with continued monitoring.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) mapping
Increasingly clients are asking us to map their entire portfolios to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to understand the impact their investments are making, and where improvements might be made. We use data sources from specialist ESG data providers and request information from asset managers to enable our reporting across almost all asset classes.
Setting beliefs and principles
We help all of our clients define and document their responsible investing beliefs. We view this as an important first step to integrating ESG and responsible investment considerations into the processes. We do not like high level or vague objectives so we work with clients to set meaningful principles that directly help make better-informed decisions.
So how can we help?
