Industry Collaborations
Responsible Investment Association (RIA) In 2025, RPIA became a member of the Responsible Investment Association (RIA), Canada’s investment industry association dedicated to advancing responsible investment across the country’s financial system. Through its research, advocacy, and industry collaboration, RIA works to embed responsible investment practices across the full spectrum of market participants, from individual Canadian investors to institutional investors, regulators, and government.
Canadian Coalition for Good Governance The Canadian Coalition for Good Governance (CCGG) promotes good governance practices in Canadian public companies and the improvement of the regulatory environment to best align the interests of boards and management with those of their stakeholders, and to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of the Canadian capital markets. RPIA participates in CCGG committees and provides inputs to engagements with company boards and Canadian regulators.
Climate Engagement Canada Climate Engagement Canada (CEC) is a finance-led initiative that drives dialogue between finance and industry to promote a just transition to a net-zero economy. CEC’s focus is to strategically engage with top emitters on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for the alignment of expectations on climate risk governance, disclosure, and the transition to a low- carbon economy in Canada. In 2025, RPIA strengthened its leadership within CEC by taking on a co-lead investor role for a focus list company, actively guiding engagement priorities and collaborating with peers to help align Canada’s financial system with a low-carbon future.
Responsible Business Initiatives
VersaFi (formerly Women in Capital Markets) VersaFi is the largest network of professionals in Canadian Finance. The organization aims to advance equity for women in the finance sector by fostering a growing pipeline of talent, leading the gender equity conversation, and partnering with industry members. RPIA employees participate in various VersiFi initiatives, events, and mentorship programs.
The 30% Club The 30% Club’s mission is to reach at least 30%
representation of women on all boards and C-suites. It acknowledges that business leadership is vital to the mission, taking the issue beyond a specialist diversity effort and integrating it into enterprise-wide strategy development. RPIA is aligned and committed to achieving this goal, please see our ‘Women in the Workplace’ data on page 29.
