Title: "Top Of The League"
Post by Administrator on Jan 27^th, 2014, 1:48pm

According to this report in "The Guardian", The BBC Pension Scheme and the BT Pension Scheme "top a league table of Britain's most "responsible" workplace pension schemes when it comes to keeping members informed about the companies and practices their money is financing,..

The BBC scheme – which provides benefits for more than 60,000 people – was praised for, among other things, publishing on its website its top 100 equity investments, which range from Apple and Facebook to retailer Whole Foods Market and doorstep lender Provident Financial."

The survey was by ShareAction- a charity, formerly known as FairPensions and its member organisations include the unions Unite and Unison, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Oxfam.
