FOREWORD
At RPIA, we are committed to working closely with our investors to leverage our expertise in pursuit of their investment goals. We take pride in our ongoing partnerships with clients to develop sustainable investment solutions that align with their objectives. In 2024, as we celebrated our firm’s 15-year anniversary, we reflected on our purpose and the progress we have made alongside our clients. As global fixed-income experts and stewards of our investors’ capital, we recognize that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors play a critical role in shaping the risk and return profile of corporate fixed-income securities. By integrating ESG considerations into our fundamental and credit analysis, we aim to manage downside risk while identifying new opportunities to create long-term value for investors. This report highlights how we embed ESG considerations across key areas, including our investment process, corporate sustainability practices, and firm culture. Over the past year, we have continued to strengthen our commitment to sustainability – both as an investment manager and as an employer. As ESG frameworks continue to evolve within the investment industry, we remain dedicated to integrating sustainability considerations into our investment process through the expertise of our team and the proprietary tools we have developed to aid our ESG assessments. In addition to our own engagement efforts, we have expanded our participation in collective initiatives with industry associations that are working to enhance accountability and disclosure standards related to sustainability. Within our firm, the addition of our Chief People Officer, Sara D’Elia, has been instrumental in launching new initiatives that empower employees and enrich our workplace culture through diverse perspectives and expertise. We are proud of our progress, and eager for the future. If you would like to discuss our approach to sustainability within the firm and our investment process, please feel free to contact us at investors@rpia.ca.
