Market Wide Initiatives & Public Policy 

An important element of the RI strategy is to operate at a market-wide level to promote improvements that will help the fund to deliver sustainable long term growth. The fund may engage with public policy makers, regulators, trade bodies, indexes and other players in the financial markets. Where we believe it will strengthen our impact, USS seeks to collaborate with other investors. 

The following sections provide detail about cornerstone projects and longer term themes under this part of the RI strategy. Further information may be found within Activity Reports. Older projects can be found in the library section under resources.
