Approach
To protect and grow the Fund, we must identify and manage material business risks and opportunities that could impact the value of our investments – including sustainability-related factors.
Sustainability-related factors are rapidly evolving and can materially impact the Fund’s performance. We believe that considering the financial impact of these factors leads to more informed investment decisions, which in turn can contribute to higher returns and lower risk.
Simply put, integrating sustainability better enables us to fulfill our mandate to maximize returns without undue risk of loss. That is why we seek to integrate sustainability considerations into our decision-making across the entire investment life cycle.
Governance
We believe that sustainability-related risks and opportunities can significantly impact our investments, operations, and ability to fulfill our mandate. A clear governance and organizational structure enables the appropriate integration of these factors into our investment decision-making processes and operations.
The governance and management of sustainability-related factors sit with the highest governing bodies of our organization. The Board of Directors delegates accountability for all risks and organizational matters beyond those specifically reserved for the Board to the President & CEO. The President & CEO further delegates responsibilities across the organization through management committees.
