As signatories to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Carleton University and the Carleton University Retirement Plan, commit to six principles for Responsible Investment and incorporate ESG issues into the investment practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the calendar year, Carleton University submitted two reports to the PRI; one for the Retirement Plan, and the other for the university’s Operating and Endowment Funds. The reports provided responsible investing activities of the university’s pools of capital. The reports are compulsory and are required of all signatories. The results of PRI’s assessment relative to 5,391 signatories representing over US$121.3 trillion in assets are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
