Good investments can also do good.
Climate change, poverty, systemic racism and inequality are huge issues identified by the United Nations, which we can all play a part in helping to resolve.
The gap between the number of investors who hold sustainable investments and those who are interested in them is far too wide. That’s why we’re on a mission to make it easy for institutions, advisors and investors to integrate these solutions into their portfolios.
We aspire to create a more invested world, sustainably. As a leading Canadian asset manager, we focus on protecting and creating value for our stakeholders – our clients, our employees, our shareholders, our communities and our planet by building sustainability into Mackenzie’s culture, corporate practices, and investment decisions we make.
We believe innovation is at the heart of sustainable investing. Our solutions are designed to bring about real change, whether it’s in promoting better ESG practices, playing a part in the fight against global warming with innovative green technologies, or bringing about a more equal and inclusive workplace.
The growing number of sustainable investing products available to Canadians can be overwhelming. Our goals are to simplify sustainable investing and be transparent regarding the companies we invest in, while offering solutions that focus on a variety of causes and values that interest investors.
Our teams include pioneers who have decades of experience in sustainable investing, putting us in a better position to measure a business’s sustainability, earnings, and risk and return potential. We believe that more diverse companies tend to have improved business practices and deliver superior returns.
We deliver solutions for each of the categories in the sustainable investing spectrum :
Established in 2020 to develop sustainable investing products, ESG research and advocacy, and corporate stewardship.
