About the Dialogue to Action brochure

Created by our investment fund subsidiary iA Clarington, this brochure provides a detailed overview of Vancity Investment Management's (VCIM) corporate dialogue initiatives for 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. It also outlines the impact of environmental, social and governance issues on shareholder value.

The global pandemic has highlighted how important ESG factors are to financial performance. This provided further validation of VCIM’s core philosophy, which is founded on the premise that:

“a company’s long-term financial success depends on the ability to cultivate and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders: shareholders, clients, employees and communities.”

VCIM was active throughout the past year using the tools of shareholder engagement to urge companies to act on topical and long-standing issues, including employee health and safety, access to medicine, racial equity, and climate change.

Over the most recent period, VCIM’s engagement activities helped advance 10 of the 17 goals on the United Nations (UN) Agenda for Sustainable Development.
