Research Partners About the RIA The Canadian Responsible Investment Trends Report is released biennially by the Thanks to the Canadian Institutional Investment Responsible Investment Association (RIA), Network for providing data on Canada’s investment Canada’s industry association dedicated to industry, and to Purpose Capital for providing data on responsible investing. [...] As the sponsor of this report, we believe this is an essential piece of research to measure the ongoing success of the Responsible Investment (RI) movement in Canada. [...] However, it’s one thing to believe in the relevance and importance of RI and quite another to engage advisors and investors around RI solutions and get them to act. [...] In order to standardize language, the terminology used in this report is aligned with the language used by the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and our peer organizations in the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA). [...] The PRI defines ‘responsible investment’ as the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the analysis and selection of investments, and into ownership activities such as engagement with management and the voting of proxies at shareholder meetings.
