Client feedback


I found the trustee training really beneficial, highly recommended. I am not a trustee, I represent the employer and I think it will be valuable for me in future, having a better understanding of the trustees' perspective.

Alex is the first professional trustee we have had and has revolutionised the way they look at things - helped above and beyond.

Gillian has gone above and beyond what we would normally expect of our secretarial support on many occasions and her deep knowledge on all issues have been invaluable.

Colin provides expert trusteeship. He guides former employees not familiar with legal constraints and restrictions - he is aware of them and helps solve problems - very happy.

Consideration of social risks & opportunities call for evidence response

Topic:

Date published:

When responding to The Pensions Regulator’s single code of governance consultation, we noted the clear (and positive) intent to crystalise ESG and climate change considerations on trustees. However, on the face of it, the new requirements seem to weight things in the direction of the E. We think this could be rebalanced easily to make it clearer to pension trustees that E, S and G are all interrelated and carry equal importance.

PSGS' response to the DWP's ‘Consideration of social risks & opportunities call for evidence’ looks at the S in more detail, including:

  1. Trustees’ legal duties
  2. Social factors and financial materiality
  3. How trustees can take social factors into account
  4. Social factors as opportunities
