Underlying everything our board does is its duty to manage the plan and the fund in the best financial interests of plan beneficiaries. Investment returns play a large part in securing the pensions for current and future members.

Responsible investing is a key component of the plan’s investment approach. Assessing and managing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities over the long term is central to this approach. This is a fundamental way we seek to protect and grow the value of the pension fund.

Based on ongoing research and experience, we continue to evolve our approach to responsible investing and stewardship to support strong, risk-adjusted returns and the long-term sustainability of the plan.
