1. Investment-led

Our investment teams have developed their own methods to integrate material ESG factors into their respective investment analysis and decision-making processes for applicable types of investments. This approach allows our investment teams to tailor the ESG integration tools and resources to their distinct investment methodologies. The ESG integration activities undertaken by each team are intended to reflect the best interests of our clients and the time horizon of their investment strategies.

2. Focuses on materiality

Our investment teams focus on those ESG factors that they have determined may impact the value of the investment. The extent of these impacts depends on the issuer, the industries and geographies in which it operates, and the nature of the investment strategy for which it is purchased.

3. Continuously improves and innovates

The culture at RBC GAM revolves around innovation, continuous learning, and harnessing the power of human and machine. Our investment teams explore new and, in our opinion, improved ways to integrate material ESG factors into their investment approaches. Some of our continuous learning initiatives include: firm-wide ESG education sessions with external experts and speakers; internal ESG research on emerging data, themes, tools, and methodologies; an internal ESG network where our investment teams share perspectives on ESG topics; and a monthly internal newsletter on new developments in responsible investment.
