Responsible Investment

What is Responsible Investment?

Responsible investment integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into the investment management process.

Increasingly, Canadian investors recognize that ESG factors can have an impact on the financial performance of investments and long-term shareholder value. Responsible investment is a viable approach to achieve competitive investment returns, while ensuring that their money is managed in accordance with ESG issues.

We can help you improve investment practices that protect and enhance the long-term interests of investors, employees, the environment and society. Our analysis of the environment, human rights, labour, and governance issues provides critical insights for investors concerned with sustainability risk analysis.

Our responsible investment services help investors maintain an effective voice in the governance of the companies they own by exercising their shareowner rights through proxy voting and shareholder engagement. In doing so, shareholders support responsible investment for a sustainable economy.
