The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has published a consultation on its updated five-year Corporate Strategy, outlining six member and market outcomes that will drive the regulator’s work in the coming years.

It also set out principles for how the regulator will work with the workplace pensions market to ensure people have a sustainable retirement income.

The strategy looks to highlight TPR’s vision for people to have a sustainable income in retirement, supported by a pension system the provides security and value to all savers.

TPR noted that the pension system was evolving rapidly, with new models and technological change presenting opportunities to improve member outcomes, alongside additional risks.

Outcomes that will guide TPR’s regulatory work included ensuring that workplace pension members’ benefits were secure and delivered as promised; that members benefitted from investments and services that deliver long-term value and support a sustainable retirement income; and that people have fair access and opportunity across the workplace pensions system.

Effective scheme governance and administration by independent and skilled trustees and scheme managers was also cited as an outcome, alongside a resilient and financially secure pensions system that supports UK growth and operates efficiently, and a seamless, integrated system that provides an end-to-end journey.

“We are today launching a consultation on our five-year Corporate Strategy, at a pivotal time in pensions,” commented TPR chief executive, Nausicaa Delfas. 

“Our mission is to protect workplace pensions members’ money, enhance the pensions system and support innovation in members’ interests. 

“We encourage stakeholders to engage in our consultation to make sure that together we can create a system which delivers what matters most: a sustainable income in retirement for everyone.”

The consultation will close on 8 June 2026, with TPR planning to publish the final version of its strategy alongside its Corporate Plan in July.
