Gloucestershire Pension Fund publishes TCFD Report
8 October 2026
We’re pleased to share our latest Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report for the year 2025/26.
Covering the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, this reflects our ongoing commitment to managing climate-related risks and opportunities across our investment portfolio.
Although TCFD reporting is not yet mandatory for Local Government Pension Schemes, we believe transparency is essential. By voluntarily publishing this report, we aim to empower our stakeholders – employers, members, and the wider community – with clear insights into our climate strategy and progress.
We remain committed to annual TCFD reporting as part of our broader journey toward sustainable and resilient investment practices.
Together, we’re investing in a future that works for our members – and the planet.

Responsible Investment Beliefs Survey
Results Now Available
7 September 2026
Thank you to everyone who recently participated in Gloucestershire Pension Fund's Responsible Investment Beliefs Survey.
The survey received 1,739 responses from Fund members and has provided valuable insight into members' views on responsible investment, stewardship, sustainability, and local investment priorities.
The results show broad support for incorporating responsible investment considerations into the Fund's investment approach, with strong support for active engagement with companies to encourage positive change.
Climate change emerged as the most important ESG issue for respondents, alongside social issues, equality, diversity and inclusion, biodiversity, and labour practices. Members also expressed support for sustainable and low-carbon investment and for investment that delivers benefits within Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
Detailed analysis of responses by membership demographic and gender is now available. The findings were presented to the Pension Committee in June 2026 and will be carefully considered as part of the ongoing review of the Fund's Investment Strategy Statement. This review is being undertaken in line with the Government's new Fit for the Future regulations, with a draft strategy expected to be published for consultation later this year.
