Investing responsibly to provide long-term, secure pensions

At USS our duty is to protect and enhance the value of our investments over the long-term, with the ultimate aim of providing secure pensions for our members. We expect to achieve this by being an active and responsible long-term investor and steward of the assets and markets in which we invest. This means we need to consider all long-term risks to the performance of our investments, including material environmental, ethical, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors where these have a financial bearing.
