World Pension Summit Innovation Award ‘Plan Design’
CaixaBank’s aggregate employee Pension Scheme, comprising Pensions Caixa 30 PF and Pensions Caixa 2 PF, won third prize in the Plan Design & Reform category for its strategic initiatives and investment innovation in the area of SRI and climate change impact. It was previously runner-up in 2019.
The specialist publication Pensions & Investments has also recognised our Plan in the WorldPensionSummit Innovation Awards.
These annual innovation awards recognise the achievements of pension plans and other asset holders and institutional investors in communication, investment, technology and plan design. Using the 2020 summit theme as a guide, pension funds and other investment vehicles based on five continents presented the various ways in which they were working towards a “future-proof retirement”.
