Legal & General Assurance Society Limited of London said that it has signed on to the OECD’s Business for Inclusive Growth (B4IG) working group launched by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris.
Legal & General will be part of a coalition of 35 international companies that have committed to step up business action to advance human rights throughout their value chains, build inclusive workplaces and strengthen inclusion in their internal and external business ecosystems.
In doing so, the objective is to advance G7 government-led efforts to strengthen equality of opportunity, tackle regional disadvantages and fight gender discrimination.
With over $1.3 trillion in total assets under management, Legal & General is the U.K.’s largest investment manager for corporate pension schemes and a U.K. market leader in pensions de-risking, life insurance, workplace pensions and retirement income.
