Hampshire Pension Fund - Responsible Investment Survey

May 19 2025

The Hampshire Pension Fund has adopted a Responsible Investments policy that helps to protect the value of the Pension Fund’s investments. We believe that companies that plan ahead by, for example, helping to combat climate change, treating their workers fairly or having a diverse Board of Directors, are better prepared for the future and so will be more likely to grow the value of the Pension Fund’s investments over time.

The Pension Fund Panel and Board are a committee comprising Councillors, employer and scheme member representatives appointed to be responsible for the management of the Pension Fund. The Pension Fund Panel and Board are keen to understand your views on its approach to Responsible Investment. By completing our quick survey, you can ensure they understand the issues that are important to you when considering how the pension fund is invested.

The last Responsible Investment survey was carried out in 2022 and showed that climate change was the most important issue to the Pension Fund’s members, not least because it could significantly reduce long-term investment performance.  The information from that survey contributed towards decisions being taken by the Panel and Board to reduce the level of risk to the value of the Pension Fund’s investments as a result of climate change, including a decision to work towards disinvesting from fossil fuels.

The survey will only take a few minutes to complete and can be accessed from the following link hampshirecc.welcomesyourfeedback.net/s/2025-pension-survey

Thank you in advance for your time and valuable input. We look forward to receiving your responses before the final deadline of 30th June 2025.
