The council is also reviewing its approach to responsible investment. The Southwark Pensions Advisory Panel discussed responsible investment initiatives concerning the Southwark Pension Fund in September 2026, alongside updates on investment performance and governance.

The Southwark Council Climate Action Plan is a strategic plan outlining actions to address climate change and promote sustainability within the borough. In September 2025, the council was scheduled to discuss updating its pension fund's carbon footprint. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the plan.
