24th March 2021 – DWP call for evidence on social investment

A call for evidence entitled Consideration of social risks and opportunities by occupational pension schemes was launched by DWP on 24th March and will run until 16th June 2021. The consultation seeks views on the effectiveness of occupational pension scheme trustees’ current policies and practices in relation to social factors, how trustees understand “social” factors and how they seek to integrate considerations of financially material social factors into their investment and stewardship activities.
