Helping trustees and pension scheme sponsors better manage climate risks and opportunities  

As climate change poses an increasingly significant challenge for defined benefit pension scheme sponsors, it is critical to understand and manage the risks and opportunities that arise from this rapidly evolving landscape. This can be complex, but that's where LCP Beacon comes in.  

LCP Beacon is an intuitive tool that helps pension scheme stakeholders better understand and engage with climate risks and opportunities, providing clear actions that are tailored to their unique circumstances.  

It is divided into two:

  1. LCP Beacon - this provides a valuable learning resource for understanding the different types of climate risks and opportunities, the factors trustees should be considering, and access to a series of questions you can ask your sponsor to better understand its sustainability strategy. You can access this here. 
  1. LCP Beacon interactive – Accessible though a demo which you can either arrange here or with one of our team listed below. After guiding you through a series of questions about your scheme, your sponsor's climate strategy and an industry climate risk assessment, the tool will give you a list of actions tailored to your unique circumstances. 

The tools work together to support trustees and sponsors to integrate climate risks and opportunities into their assessment of covenant strength, improving their journey planning and the management of climate risk.
