Impact Investing

Impact investments provide capital to initiatives that intentionally and measurably address the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges. These investments generate an appropriate, risk-adjusted financial return and are reported on annually.

Impact investing not only supports our vision to be a catalyst for a sustainable society, but also broadens the returns of our investments beyond purely financial gains and into the realm of social and environmental benefits. The Co-operators areas of focus for impact investments are:

• Climate change
• Community development
• Health and wellness
• Education
• Food, agriculture and natural resources
