Investors have the power to influence and change behaviour globally. As the Environment Agency Pension Fund,
there are specific priorities where we want to work with the investment community to bring about change.
These are:
• Climate Change – helping investors understand and manage the financial risks from climate change
• Using resources sustainably, with a particular emphasis on reducing plastics in the environment
• Water – managing water quantity and water quality
For these priority areas, we will engage to bring about greater disclosure and improve environmental outcomes,
including through the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
In 2019 we launched an internal campaign to attend company AGMs and ask a question of the Board and this has included on TCFD reporting and on scenario planning.
