Victoria: Helping deliver our responsible business ambition

Our responsible business approach focuses on stewardship, responsible investment, climate, nature and social impact. We're committed to achieving net zero operational emissions by 2030 and net zero investment across our investment portfolios by 2050. We aim to support better environmental and social outcomes, strengthen communities and contribute to a fair and sustainable future. Our Group Responsible Business team are accountable for the delivery of this approach, setting the standard and supporting teams to embed sustainability in their work.

Victoria joined the team in 2024 and was promoted to Responsible Business Manager in 2026, focusing on climate, nature and stewardship.

What I enjoy most about my role is the breadth of the work. In a single week I might be shaping a sustainability-related position or policy, responding to consultations on new regulations, advising on external messaging, or developing our climate, nature or stewardship strategies. 

My team cannot deliver our sustainability and social impact ambitions alone, so I spend a lot of my time working with other teams. Understanding how a business area works and what its key challenges are can be a steep learning curve. But our colleagues at Royal London are approachable and collaborative, and often very enthusiastic about how they can play their part.
"Working at Royal London has allowed me to align my career ambitions with something I feel very passionate about.”

I started my career at a large insurance company before spending three years in sustainability consulting. I joined Royal London because it offered me the best of both parts of my career – advising on sustainability and getting involved in the implementation and output of projects.  

When I joined, I was responsible for helping us meet climate reporting requirements but quickly realised I was more interested in the strategic work supporting the delivery of our responsible business ambition. My People Leader supported me to explore opportunities and develop my role to align with my aspirations – which led to my promotion.  

Working at Royal London has allowed me to align my career ambitions with something I feel very passionate about. Sometimes we face quite complex issues and trade-offs, but my work is very meaningful and rewarding.  

We’re proud of our mutual mindset. And even prouder of the people who share it.
