Redington has always been a purpose-driven firm. We’re committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients and their end beneficiaries. To do this, we’ll use our influence as an adviser to over £600bn of client assets, allocated across 150+ asset managers, as a force for good – creating positive change within the savings and investment industry and building a sustainable future for all.

One of today’s biggest sustainability challenges is climate change. This is of particular relevance to our clients due to the risk it poses to their assets and the growing number of regulatory requirements placed on large asset owners. 

While we acknowledge that creating a sustainable future won’t come from addressing the threat of climate change alone, we believe it’s the best place to start.  

What will this look like in practice?

To start with, we’re working to reduce and offset our own emissions – this is the easy bit! But we will need to do a whole lot more than this to make a real difference. So, we’re integrating sustainability across our entire business. We’ll be helping our clients consider climate change alongside their wider objectives – managing the risk it presents, as well as the potential for greater returns. We’ll support each of our clients in setting an appropriate Paris-aligned emissions reduction pathway – one that fits with their investment objectives. This will enable our clients to achieve better outcomes for their end beneficiaries, while contributing to the real-world transition towards a net-zero economy.

This won’t be a trivial task; it will require a multi-faceted approach. To make this happen, we’ve devised a 7-point climate action plan to further integrate sustainability across our entire business:

Our responsible investment journey

While net-zero is a relatively new challenge, we’ve dedicated significant time and resources to developing our responsible investment capabilities and will continue to do so. We are committed to being at the forefront of the transition to a sustainable future.

For over 10 years, we’ve been helping our clients identify attractive investment opportunities via climate solutions. This has enabled them to reach their return objectives whilst contributing to the real-world transition to a net-zero emissions economy. Over the past two years, we’ve helped our clients commit more than £1.8bn to the development and construction of renewable energy infrastructure. We estimate this will result in a c.940k tonne reduction in carbon emissions per annum, which equates to removing c.186k cars off the roads each year.
