Surrey Pension Fund is committed to a net-zero by 2050 or sooner, with annual reviews to assess whether the timeline annually can be sped up. In this case study, Surrey describe how they are supported by analysis from investment consultants, and this goal reflects their ambition to act decisively on climate impact.

Surrey has also moved most of its active equities and fixed income assets to pooling partner, Border to Coast Pensions Partnership (BCPP), with interim carbon-reduction targets of 53% by 2025, and 66% by 2030.

We spoke to Lloyd Whitworth, Head of Investment and Stewardship at Surrey Pension Fund about the scheme's impactful approach to compile this case study.

Pensions for Purpose were delighted to recognise Surrey Pension Fund's achievements by presenting them with the Impact Investing Principles Adopter Award, in the Pension Fund Awards, at our recent Annual Symposium & Awards 2024, sponsored by Isio.
