My love for sustainability
Meet Beth. From a junior position fresh out of university to Responsible Investment Director, read what Beth has to say about her career journey at Royal London.
Hi, I’m Beth. I grew up in Sussex and studied Environmental Management at Leeds University. I’m the Responsible Investment Director at Royal London Asset Management, working in the heart of the City of London with great views of The Gherkin.
When I’m not working, you can find me traveling or experimenting with bread making, my new hobby.
My career background
Starting from a junior position after university, I've worked hard to move up and into my current role, which perfectly aligns with my passion for sustainability.
It’s my job to help embed responsible investing within the business, while meeting market needs and regulatory expectations. I believe we’re doing things for the right reasons, which is a huge driver for me. Royal London Asset Management’s culture is very special, encouraging collaboration and innovation to get the best outcomes for our customers.
Skills and support
I'm a big believer in soft skills. They're valuable, hard to teach and useful in many jobs. Skills like influencing, communication, and relationship building matter a lot to me. Working in the fast-paced world of finance has really tested and strengthened my resilience. I've learned to stay calm and focus on what's important. In my job, I make sure to communicate well and build good relationships. Staying focused on outcomes helps me perform well.
“I've been lucky to have great mentors and support from my colleagues and family throughout my career – they’ve been my cheerleaders and advocates! At Royal London, people are always willing to help.”
- Beth
