Paris Alignment Forum Asset Owner Event With Invesco and Worcestershire Pension Fund 2022 | Pensions for Purpose | 13 March 2022 | Online

We are delighted to invite you to our Q1 Paris Alignment Forum asset owner event. This is a Chatham House peer-to-peer discussion for asset owners such as pension funds and those involved in the governance of assets.

Delegates will have an opportunity to share experiences and to hear from Worcestershire Pension Fund who have already embarked on their climate action journey. This has included agreeing on a set of investment beliefs, mapping their whole portfolio (listed and unlisted assets) to the Sustainable Development Goals, agreeing to an investment strategy to become more closely aligned to these goals, becoming one of the first pension funds to sign up to the Stewardship Code 2020 and publishing their climate-related disclosures report in line with TCFD recommendations.

Graham Hook, from Invesco, will be having a fireside chat with Rob Wilson, from Worcestershire County Council, to discuss his journey towards net zero for the pension fund.

The event will finish with a Q&A session.

Objective:
To promote discussion and understanding of the challenges of implementing climate action strategies for pension funds and how to address these.

Outcome:
Delegates will see examples of best practices and learn from the shared experiences in an asset-owner only discussion. This will enable informed decision-making on climate action within a pension fund portfolio.

Suitable for:
Anyone involved in the governance of assets and pension funds such as trustees of corporate defined benefit plans, trustees of corporate defined contribution plans; master trusts; LGPS pensions managers and committee members, and in-house pension teams. Please note that this is an asset-owner only event, it is not suitable for asset managers or consultants, other than our forum sponsor, Invesco.
