In November 2021, The Natural Step Canada and Smart Prosperity Institute in partnership with Corporate Knights, with support from the Trottier Family Foundation, published the Canadian Pensions Dashboard for Responsible Investing, a navigational tool to increase ambition for a sustainable, inclusive future.

The report accompanying the dashboard found that while there have been positive developments towards sustainability in the pension sector, there are still challenges.

In this roundtable, we convened a panel of experts to reflect on the current state of Canadian pensions and discuss the path to making them greener, faster.
