Thomas Lingard

Active-member Trustee

I joined Unilever in 1999 as a trainee in IT and finance, before moving to corporate affairs and sustainability. In my current role, I work on projects relating to climate change, the environment, and sustainable development. In 2016, I used my knowledge in this space to help the Unilever UK Pension Fund start to integrate climate risk thinking into their investment approach.

I joined the Board in May 2021. I was keen to become a Trustee because pensions are hugely important, but for many people they can be complicated and confusing. I’m especially interested in working with the Trustees to make it easier for members to find out more about how their money is invested, and the options that are available to them.
