Responding to the media interest in the video that HRH The Prince of Wales recorded for the National Association of Pension Funds’ Annual Conference in Manchester, which was shown yesterday, Joanne Segars, NAPF Chief Executive, said:

“We are delighted that His Royal Highness accepted our invitation to speak at our conference on these issues because we know how important they are for pension funds investors. Pension funds are long-term institution with long-term liabilities that need to invest for the long term.

“We all know that the Prince of Wales has been concerned about sustainability and environmental issues for many years. The NAPF believes that these are also of significant importance to long term pension fund investors and are the basis for long term investment success and hence the provision of good pensions for people in the future.

“We are pleased that he is shining a light on these issues and we look forward to working with his charities on this agenda in the future.”
