What is inclusive capitalism?
Inclusive capitalism can sound complicated. The concept is relatively simple – we believe that companies like Legal & General can make money, generating returns for our shareholders and tackling inequality, by making investments we know will make a difference.
We can be purposeful in the way we make and invest money so we can both grow our profits and invest in projects that will do good. For example, we invest the money that is held with us in pension savings. That might be into housing projects to tackle the UK’s housing shortage, in towns and cities that might need to regenerate their local economies, or in businesses or projects that help to tackle climate change. Because we invest over the long-term, we can create reliable returns for both pension-holders, and our shareholders.
Of course, our businesses do more than just this, but it’s just one example of how we are tackling issues that affect thousands of people across the world, while making sure our business is profitable and growing.
