Socially Responsible Indicators

MSCI ESG Research monitors companies for conduct that violates the ten UN Global Compact (UNGC) principles related to human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. They also track business controversies related to the environment, product quality, human rights, labour rights, and governance. This chart outlines the weighted average exposure to underlying holdings with UNGC violations and very severe controversies for each of our investment strategies. It also reports on each investment strategy's weighted average exposure to underlying holdings with ties to controversial weapons (e.g. landmines, cluster munitions, biological, chemical, depleted uranium, or nuclear weapons) and tobacco.

ESG data was collected in June 2022. Analysis assumes that an investor is assigned to a Risk 6 model portfolio in a retirement account (e.g. RRSP) without any allocation to gold.
