Advisory Group
The Advisory Group (AG) brings together a range of member organisations, including asset managers, consultants, legal firms and asset owners – to guide Pensions for Purpose's mission.

By participating in quarterly meetings, our advisers provide insights, review our business strategy and hold us accountable to deliver maximum value to all members. The AG also champions diversity, equity and inclusion, offering all voices an opportunity to shape the impact investing landscape. To bring in fresh perspectives, AG members serve a three-year term – rotation ensures the ongoing renewal of ideas. This collaborative group shapes our business and encourages members to advocate for impact investment across the industry.
