At LGIM, we believe environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors – such as climate change, social inequality and executive pay – are financially material. So we see responsible investing as the incorporation of ESG considerations into investment decisions.

Responsible investing, in our view, is essential to mitigate risks, unearth investment opportunities and strengthen long-term returns for clients. It is also core to our approach: our very purpose at LGIM is to create a better future through responsible investing.

Investment Stewardship

Our Investment Stewardship team engages with companies, alongside LGIM’s investment teams, to address company-specific and market-wide risks and opportunities. The team exercises our voting rights globally, holding companies to account. At the same time, the team works with regulators, policy makers and our peers to tackle systemic issues.

Key risks

The value of any investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the amount originally invested.
Whilst we have incorporated ESG information into investment decision making and stewardship practices, there can be no assurance that any responsible investing goals will be met.
