UK workplace pension provider TPT Retirement Solutions has published a new human rights policy based on the United Nations Guiding Principles. (UNGPs) It has developed an approach to ensure that human rights issues are consider throughout the investment and stewardship process, particularly when appointing third-party investment managers as they select the underlying securities in its investment portfolio where human rights violations may take place. To support this aim TPT recently joined the Investor Alliance for Human Rights (IAHR), a global initiative supported by investors which collectively manage over US$10 trillion assets under management (AUM). The alliance focusses on setting up international standards and corporate engagement on human rights. Cliff Speed, Chief Investment Officer, TPT Retirement Solutions, said: “I am delighted TPT has published our first Human Rights Policy. This reflects our unwavering commitment to responsible investing and advances our collaboration efforts to contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future.”
