The Board also acknowledged that Environmental Social Governance was a complex issue and noted the progress made to date by the Fund in relation to its established Responsible Investment Policy and investments. With regard to the current reporting to the Committee on responsible investment it was suggested that benchmarked data was required in order to enable progress to be tracked and it was noted that the developing Dashboard method of reporting would go some way towards that. The Head of Fund reminded members of the Board that arrangements were being made for representatives from the Local Authorities and Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF) to give a private briefing for the Pension Fund Committee and the Board in November 2019 regarding the function of LAPFF and specific work they do in relation to Climate Change.
