Standard Life is part of the Phoenix Group… and we’re proud to be the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business,… meaning we can support people across all stages of the savings life cycle.
Our vision is to grow a strong and sustainable business… to help more people on their journey… to and through retirement.
At Standard Life, we put your investment outcomes first. We take a financial approach to sustainable investing, which means we focus on the sustainable issues that impact the value of your pension.
We believe that responsible investment today… brings better outcomes for you tomorrow.
For example: in 2022, we invested one billion pounds in sustainable assets,… including affordable housing,… access to healthcare and renewable energy.
We were delighted that moving one point five million of our customers into our new sustainable investment options won the ‘ESG initiative of the year (for corporates)’ at Environmental Finance’s, Sustainable Investment Awards 2022.
We’re aiming to reduce our customers’ exposure to climate-related investment risk… by committing to transitioning our investments to net zero by 2050.
And, we’ll continue to be a leading voice… calling for action and growing towards being a nature-positive economy.
We want to help you, our customers, to achieve the kind of retirement you deserve. So, through our ongoing research, we’re finding out more about people like you … so we can help make you feel more confident and supported with your finances… in the moments that matter.
Our Second Life platform with Standard Life Ireland helps you plan for and achieve your best life in retirement,… whatever shape that might take.
We care about people’s futures, that’s why we’re thrilled to be the headline sponsor for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
And, we’ve become one of the founding partners… of the new Samaritan’s training school, which will train more than 400 listening volunteers.
Finally, looking closer to home, we expect the companies and industries that we invest in to act a certain way. As such, it’s important that we practice what we preach, so within our own company:
we used one hundred percent renewable energy across all our occupied offices
we reduced the energy consumption in our buildings by over forty three percent
and we diverted one hundred percent of waste from our core operational sites away from landfill
But we’re not stopping there…
We’re aiming to embed sustainability and good governance into everything we do. So we can continue to build on the work we’ve already started.
