Does tackling climate change mean lower investment returns?

Cushon's Net Zero Now Pension (with carbon offsets) has reached capacity. Our default fund, with reduced carbon, remains.
No, it doesn’t.

To ensure there is no impact on investment returns for the Cushon Flexible Retirement Strategy we are paying, out of Cushon’s own money, to offset the majority of all CO2 emissions.

The balance of CO2 emissions has been eradicated by changes to the underlying funds with no impact on potential investment returns.

For the offsets, we have partnered with a company called Vertree to select a range of Verified Carbon Standard Projects, with 75% of projects being triple, double or single gold-rated under the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard.
