Veritau is the first local authority related organisation accredited as a Living Pension Employer
12 September 2025
We’re proud to announce that Veritau has become the first local authority related organisation to receive accreditation as a Living Pension Employer.
The Living Pension scheme is a voluntary savings target for employers who want to help workers, especially those on low pay, build up a pension pot that will provide enough income to meet basic everyday needs in retirement. It launched in March 2023.
Receiving this accreditation helps demonstrate our commitment to providing fair, sustainable pension benefits that help our employees to secure their financial future.
Max Thomas, Chief Executive at Veritau said:
“We’re pleased to be recognised as one of the first local authority related Living Pension Employers. We believe that everybody deserves to be able to live with dignity in retirement and hope that over time more organisations will join us in this commitment.”
In addition to being recognised as a Living Pension Employer, in 2023 Veritau received accreditation as a Real Living Wage employer, showing our dedication to ensuring everyone can earn enough to live on. Find out more about our Real Living Wage accreditation here.
