Our mission
Our values at XPS guide us as we live our purpose. They are at the heart of everything we do and the shared spirit that makes us one team.
Of course, it’s one thing to agree words amongst ourselves. It’s another to bring those words to life.
Enter our people – our problem solvers, our forward thinkers, our hard workers. Whether in our actuarial, investment, administration, HR, marketing, legal or systems departments, all our people work with a societal purpose. It’s the XPS way.
Our people deliver for us. It’s only right therefore that we deliver for them. Our People Approach is designed to do just that and we pride ourselves on delivering around inclusivity, opportunities for all, flexibility, wellbeing and, last but not least, fun!

Our Employee Networks
Our seven Employee Networks – XPS Women’s Network, XPS LGBTQ+ Network, XPS Menopause Network, XPS Disability Network, XPS Multicultural Network, XPS Mental Health Allies and XPS Planet Group – play an important role in our culture.
Our DEI networks lead our inclusive programme of events, campaigns and workshops, such as celebrating International Women’s and Men’s Days, Pride Month and Black History Month, our Be Yourself at Work campaign and our workshops on LGBTQ+ Allyship, the importance of self-promotion for women’s careers, menopause awareness and confidence when speaking up. Our internal mentoring programme also has a role to play, for example in advancing gender equality.
Being a Responsible Business
Sustainability, environmental, social and governance (ESG) affects everyone. As doing the right thing is a fundamental aspect of our culture, all parts of the business have responsibility for how our activities affect the environment and how we can reduce our impacts so that we all have a more stable environmental and financial future. We are using our knowledge and expertise to help both us and our clients to get to net zero.
