Authority is well-established through the schema_json, which identifies the legal entity as People’s Pension provided by People’s Partnership with a physical headquarters in Crawley. The inclusion of a named expert, Leanne Clements (Head of Responsible Investment), adds a layer of human accountability often missing in high-BS financial sites.

Marketing claims are anchored in reality; for instance, the claim of simple, secure and straightforward pensions is backed by details on automatic risk reduction (lifestyling) 15 years before retirement. Performance claims regarding ESG are tempered by the admission that responsible investing integrates ESG issues to reduce risk, rather than promising unrealistic world-saving results.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
