Integrating responsible investment for future generations

Indigenous communities are multi-generational stewards of the lands, waters and resources known as Turtle Island. As such, they are a vital part of, and have a vested interest in, building an environmentally and socially responsible future that provides positive impacts for today, tomorrow and for next generations. To do so, Indigenous communities may wish to incorporate traditional and cultural values into investment policies that guide their portfolios.

In this paper, we explain responsible investing, why it’s important, and how to implement it in your investment policy statement (IPS). Our goal is to provide you with the necessary information to address this topic when discussing the prudent and sustainable investment of your capital.
