Read MoreThe RRII offers a dedicated responsible investing program for Indigenous investors called Values in Action. The Values in Action program equips investors with the necessary tools and supports to lead shareholder engagements with companies in your portfolio.
Shareholder engagement involves connecting and conversing with companies in your portfolio to advocate for improved corporate policies and practices. Engagement has a track record of tangible and effective change, as it targets corporate concerns at the root of the issue and uses financial investments as leverage for change.
SHARE is a leading responsible investing organization that works with institutional investors to steward their assets in ways that contribute to positive social and environmental outcomes.
SHARE’s engagement services have a track record of leading change by developing new areas of research and engagement, including workers’ rights, climate action, reconciliation and affordable housing.
With support from SHARE, the Values in Action program introdces Indigenous Trusts to an investor network that regularly engages with Canadian companies on improving their environmental, social, and governance practices, including those related to reconciliation.
Explore some of the outcomes from past investor engagements as part of the RRII Values in Action program.
