Full press release

The highly regarded accreditation is a globally recognised framework that assesses the reliability and effectiveness of customer service operations. The accreditation was awarded after a two-day assessment carried out in early December 2021. Spanning seven different modules, the independent assessment covered a comprehensive range of criteria such as strategy, customer feedback, leadership engagement and business continuity planning.

The assessor identified a positive work environment, and an upbeat warmth from the individuals taking part, and went on to say: “Overall, this was a very satisfying assessment and is particularly impressive given the challenges of the pandemic. L&G clearly embrace the Global Standard criteria as best practice and apply them to how they operate. Achieving CCA Global Standard Accreditation is an outstanding accolade that requires dedication, hard-work, courage and ambition – all of the things recognised in you by our assessment team.”

LGRI provides income and security in retirement to over half a million customers and has had a Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) of over +70 for four years, which is widely regarded as being at a “world class” level.

Dave Poulton, Chief Customer Officer, Legal & General Retirement Institutional: “I am immensely proud of my teams for this fantastic achievement and for maintaining such a high level of service, despite the significant and ongoing challenge presented by the pandemic. This accreditation recognises the enormous efforts and continued commitment of our frontline team to support our customers and keep them at the heart of everything we do.”
