The Responsible Investment Association (RIA) aims to drive the growth and development of responsible investment (RI) in Canada’s retail and institutional markets, with a vision to align capital with sustainable and inclusive development, as codified in the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Given Canada’s position as one of the largest energy producers in the world and its need to improve diversity and inclusion in business leadership, the RIA’s priority themes include a just energy transition and a diverse and inclusive business landscape in Canada. Stewardship and impact investing are recognized as important strategies for catalyzing sustainable and inclusive development.
