The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec was part of the first wave of institutional investors to endorse the United Nations (UN) Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). These principles provide for the integration of environmental, social and corporate governance issues in investment activities, providing financial institutions with a framework for achieving better long-term investment returns and more sustainable markets.
To date, more than 800 investors, managers, and experts have endorsed the principles for responsible investment. Together, they manage over $22 trillion ($22,000 billion), giving them enormous power to influence decision-making.
The Caisse’s support for the PRI is in line with its participation in international consensus-building in favour of this type of investing. The Caisse actively participates in the implementation of the 6 principles as well as in events bringing together the major players in the international financial community.
