Trump, trust and the future of ESG

For pension scheme trustees, ESG is not getting any easier.

After 6 months of the second Trump term, the US backlash against ESG continues. In the UK, new interpretations and potential reform of fiduciary duty is nudging schemes to better address the societal impact of their investments. Meanwhile, members already assume their money is invested in ‘good things’.

So what happens when expectations outpace communication – or caution holds back action?

Join Quietroom and Pomerantz LLP over dinner to hear expert views on:

• the progressive legal direction emerging in the UK
• the tone of ESG communications across UK pensions
• how market turbulence is affecting saver behaviour
• the state of ESG in the US – and why it matters for UK schemes

The conversation isn’t just about fiduciary duty. It’s about trust, responsibility – and how cultural and political forces shape what pensions can be.

Places are limited, so book now!
