- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will produce guidance to pensions schemes to assist those schemes in avoiding investment in companies linked with the manufacture of cluster munitions.
- Answer
-
The Pensions Regulator produces free guidance for trustees via the online Trustee Toolkit. The Trustee Toolkit was updated in October 2014, with new material on the extent to which trustees should take account of social, environmental or ethical considerations when taking investment decisions. This new material reflects the outcomes of the Law Commission’s recent review of fiduciary duties.
