Scottish Widows

Scottish Widows enjoys a proud history of helping people plan for their financial futures for over 200 years. Today, as one of the most recognised and trusted brands in its sector, they have over 6 million customers and offer a wide product range as well as workplace pensions, including annuities, protection, savings and investments.

The organisation wants to help customers own their tomorrow - from delivering expertise, guidance and industry insight, to providing products to help people plan for their future. This is demonstrated through the Scottish Widows app which empowers users to stay connected to their pensions, savings and investments all in one place, while the innovative and award winning Pension Mirror tool has encouraged thousands of savers to think about their retirement with a more interactive experience. In addition, the longstanding research program that focuses on UK financial planning attitudes, the involvement in the industry wide, annual Pension Engagement Season initiative, and the Retirewell member webinars, all ensure people feel informed to make decisions about their future.

From an investment point of view, Scottish Widows has a focus on sustainability and have launched a number of publications about their approach. This includes their Responsible Investment Framework and Stewardship Policy and their Climate Action Plan, which includes a key target of decarbonising all investments by 2050.
