USS is a long-term, responsible investor with a legal duty to invest in the best financial interests of our members and beneficiaries, so we can pay pensions long into the future. We integrate financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into our investment decision making and we engage as active, long- term owners of our investments. Our active engagement isn’t just limited to our investments. This may include engaging with policymakers and regulators in the markets we invest in as we believe we have a role to play in promoting the proper functioning of markets and economies.
