Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF)

To underline Staffordshire Pension Fund's commitment to matters of corporate governance and socially responsible investment, in March 2013 Staffordshire Pension Fund joined LAPFF.

This is a voluntary association Forum which brings together most local authority pension funds and their pooling companies with assets under management of over £350bn (at the time of writing). The forum seeks to protect its members investments by promoting the highest standards of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility from the organisations they are invested in.
