Whoever said that money and morals don’t mix? Not us! Your education, your personal experiences and your world view- all of these are facets of your personality and part of who you are. Your values influence your choices. As a parent, as a spouse, as a professional and as a citizen- your words have meaning. And so do your savings. In fact, your savings speak loudly and clearly. Whether you’re building a small nest egg or a large RRSP, it carries an important message to the financial world-when you make investments based on your values.
You want to create a better world for your children and for future generations. Like you, we believe it’s possible to save and invest without financing weapons manufacturers, industrial pollution, businesses who exploit third world labour, and dictatorial leaders who rob their own citizens.

INNOVATION–GOOD GOVERNANCE-JUSTICE & EQUALITY-HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Put your money where it matters
There are no circumstances under which we would accept the use of our financial assets for the development or manufacture of weapons. Instead, we support clean technologies such as wind or solar energy. We also support research aimed at eradicating AIDS and other infectious diseases.
Family first
It may sound simple, but it sums up the principle of good governance. Public corporations must be accountable to their shareholders, and shareholders have to be management’s highest priority.
Economy and Ecology
Try imagining business and industry without natural resources. For centuries, industrial pollution has clashed with the fragile ecosystem- with disastrous results. This must change, and must do things differently. This is why we only invest in environmentally friendly companies.
The Challenge for this Century
Protecting our children, racial and sexual equality, equal opportunities in the workplace. The theme of justice is central to ethical management. That’s why socially responsible companies get our attention.
