Responsibility
We have a responsibility to many stakeholders. When we allocate capital, we conduct extensive research into potential environmental and societal outcomes
Materiality
ESG factors are financially material, albeit not all to the same degree. And patience is required, because the time horizons of ESG outcomes and investment returns are not always aligned
Engagement
Engagement with consequences is the best way to deliver long-term, systemic change on a global scale

Targeting long-term responsible investing goals
In partnership with, and on behalf of, our clients we target a broad range of ESG objectives. These include:
- Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner across all assets under management
- Setting an interim target of 70% of eligible AUM to be managed in alignment with this net-zero ambition by 2030
- Achieving net-zero carbon across our real estate portfolio by 2050 [1]
LGIM, as at May 2024. For further information on our responsible investing goals, please visit our Active Ownership page
[1] For this first interim target, unveiled as part of the Net Zero Asset Manager initiative, LGIM has excluded Government securities and Derivative assets due to lack of clear industry methodologies to account for these asset classes to date.
Key risks
The value of any investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the amount originally invested.
Whilst we have incorporated ESG information into investment decision making and stewardship practices, there can be no assurance that any responsible investing goals will be met.
