Our virtuous circle of inclusive capitalism

Inclusive capitalism is what sets Legal & General apart. It gives us purpose, underpinning what business we do, and how we do it. Put simply, it’s investing capital for high return and the greatest social benefit.

Our climate actions

To avoid the most extreme impacts of a changing climate, we must collectively limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C. Addressing climate change is one of our strategic priorities and we have identified six climate actions to achieve this.

Helping to fuel the growth of tomorrow

At Legal & General we have a track record for investing in new areas of growth – from investment in small companies, technology and science partnerships. Our reach is expanding across UK regions and internationally.
