Canada’s biggest public pension funds manage over $2 trillion.
Their investment decisions influence whether businesses in Canada and around the world build electric cars and solar panels, or diesel engines and fossil gas pipelines.
At the same time, these pension funds’ ability to generate returns for their members over the long-term depends on a stable climate.
That’s why Shift works with pension members and beneficiaries to protect pensions and the planet.
Canadian Pension Climate Report Card
Shift’s annual Canadian Pension Climate Report Card is an independent benchmark for evaluating the quality, depth and credibility of climate policies for 11 of Canada’s largest pension managers.
The second edition, released in February 2024, finds that despite incremental progress, Canadian pension funds remain off track, especially compared to international peers. Far more work is needed to ensure Canadian pension managers fulfill their fiduciary duty to invest in plan members’ long-term interests and protect Canadians’ retirement security in a pathway aligned with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global heating to 1.5°C.
