Why are our pensions being used to fund fossil fuels and deforestation to the tune of billions of pounds, threatening our prosperity in older age and indeed our savings?

Today @annagelderdmp.bsky.social‬ rightly asked the government what the new Pension Schemes Bill would do to change this.

“We all need to know that we’re going to have at least two things to live on when we get to retirement - enough money and a safe planet.”

“More important than anything is to make a statement, to say that we need a fair credit system.”

Our response to the government’s pension plans announced this week ⬇️
Quote in white on grey background saying: “This is basically oversold: the money that is being 'unlocked' is already being invested by pension funds - all that happens now is companies have greater flexibility to use it for other purposes, which don't necessarily include investment. Far greater ambition is needed to tackle the real pensions crisis:  the majority of the population are saving so little they are looking forward to miserable retirements. This is why the government is right to promise the biggest reform of pensions for nearly 20 years, and why we need that reform to be ambitious. Pension savers are also facing an uncertain future because of the climate and nature crises, but the government is yet to say how its reforms will support greater investment in the green industries of the future. ” With text below in green: Jesse Griffiths, Chief Executive Officer, Finance Innovation Lab

The Chancellor has postponed a vital review of the UK’s broken pensions system.

Our Head of Advocacy, @marloesnicholls.bsky.social, responds ⬇️
White text on a grey background: It's extremely worrying that the Chancellor appears to be stepping back from Labour's promise to fix the UK's broken pensions system. As things stand, millions of us are going to be facing poverty in retirement. The Pensions Review is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to stop the UK from sleepwalking into this crisis. There will never be an easy time to overhaul the system, but kicking the can down the road now is simply irresponsible.
