This study summarizes key insights drawn from interviews with 27 Canadian institutional investors, representing CA $6.1 trillion of assets under management.

The results reveal that despite significant ESG pushback in the market, 100% of institutional investors interviewed in our latest ESG sentiment study continue to recognize the value of integrating ESG factors in their investment process. However, there is recognition that there are opportunities for improvement in marketing and communications.

The report also outlines the major trends surrounding the ESG landscape in Canada, including new governance developments, executive compensation clarity, and the increased focus on biodiversity and human rights.
