The joint Pensions Committee and Board, which is responsible for the pension fund, agreed to launch the draft policy for consultation last week (22 January 2025).
The proposals outline the funds’ approach to social, environmental and governance issues and how it will remain aligned with best practice, regulatory requirements, and the long term interests of members.
As part of the London Collective Investment Vehicle, the fund collaborates with others to leverage shared investment opportunities, as well as identifying responsible investment beliefs and stewardship best practices.
Cllr George Dunstall, Chair of the Pensions Committee, said:
This policy articulates the investment beliefs of the Pension Committee and Board and the Haringey Pension Fund and our commitment to responsible investment.
It will ensure positive social impact through investment in affordable housing and sustainable infrastructure, as well as considering key issues such as weapons, conflict zones, climate change, gambling and tobacco harms and human rights.
We know many have views on pension fund investments and hope members and other key stakeholders will take the opportunity to have their say.
