ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY The pillars of our success as an organization are our commitment to having an inclusive and open culture, our passion for doing good through our work, and our dedication to empowering employees to become leaders in the causes they care most about. We take pride in engaging with our community both within the organization through allyship and education, as well as our philanthropic giving and active volunteerism in our local community. This has been an important focus area in 2021 and prior years, and we aim to continue with strong momentum in 2022.

The Allyship Committee embodies grassroots volunteerism, social activism, and community engagement. It is a safe place where all RPIA employees can help each other identify specific actions that can make a meaningful impact on the world around us. Allyship is a topic that generates tremendous voluntary engagement and passion in our firm. Each month, we host meetings that focus on a specific subject and have been attended by 55-60% of our workforce, with representation from all seniority levels of the firm. Meetings typically involve a combination of sharing lived experiences and external speakers and are intended to foster awareness and remove barriers, moving the firm even further toward an inclusive environment. The committee’s goal is to encourage inclusive behaviours and leave our employees feeling more equipped to practice allyship regularly, consistently, and openly, both inside and out of the workplace, as well as more broadly in the community.

Charitable Giving
At RPIA, we believe in giving back to the community. We hope to create meaningful change through philanthropic giving and promoting active volunteerism among our employees in support of community development, scientific research, environmental initiatives, education, global development, and arts and cultural programs. We support a wide variety of organizations that reflect the values of our investors, our employees, and our firm. Below are some of the themes that the firm and employees have focused on for our charitable giving and we hope to increase this with additional opportunities in the coming months and years.
