Our B Corp Impact Report 2024 🌎 It’s now just over a year since we became B Corp Certified, an achievement that we remain proud of, and as excited by, as we did back then. The purpose of this report is to explain how EMW has sought to promote a material positive impact on society and the environment as a whole. It will also set out our plans to strengthen that positive impact moving forward. B Corp certification is a journey, not a destination and we want our stakeholders to feel part of that journey. A journey on which we constantly strive to be a better business. Better for our people, our clients, our community and our environment.

📣 Our CEO Ben Leonard spoke at the TISA UK Financial Advice & Guidance Conference last week, about how firms can use technology for Targeted Support 💪 Ben says: "The TISA Advice and Guidance conference last week led to a fantastic debate about how the industry might adopt changes to the boundary and more generally become data and customer driven as a result. My key take-aways are that having the combo of platform, people and processes to deliver Targeted Support will be critical to get going (one without the other won't work), and the FCA is open to engage with firms who are delivering personalised approaches today not least to undertake some customer testing." Three themes at the conference specifically peaked our interest: ✅ The Financial Conduct Authority and Targeted Support: Targeted Support is getting a lot of attention and we expect an update on progress over the summer. Key areas of focus include how to define and monitor the People Like You concept and the role of data/audit in being able to check good customer outcomes. ✅ Retirement engagement and Targeted Support: If firms step-up to deliver Targeted Support, what could this mean for advice demand (at one end) and MaPS provision (at the other)? The general consensus seemed that an end to end customer journey is a good thing for consumers- which we wholeheartedly agree with at Life Moments. We particularly enjoyed what Octopus Money is doing in this space. ✅ Technology in Targeted Support: In a panel led by Sophie Legrand-Green in which Ben participated (along with AJ Bell, Moneybox and Foresters Financial), it was discussed how Targeted Support was really just an extension of personalisation with the "dial turned up". Firms can and need to be practicing personalisation now - collecting data, creating People Like You segments and testing next best actions - if they are to be able to capitalise on the new Targeted Support opportunity.
