The auto-enrolled workplace pension scheme is the UK's largest driver of future retirement wealth. According to the Pensions Policy Institute's 'DC Future Book 2023', this market is projected to reach approximately £800bn by 2030. These workplace pension schemes rely heavily on passive equity investments to generate returns.

In this episode, podcast hosts Charlotte Moore and Charlotte O'Leary are joined by Keith Guthrie, Head of Sustainability at Cardano UK and NOW:Pensions. They discuss the three areas schemes must address to enhance the sustainability of their investments, along with the challenges these present for pension funds and asset managers. The conversation covers selecting appropriate benchmarks, the importance of effective stewardship, and whether there's a place for impact investing in a workplace portfolio.
