Oricia Smith, president of SLGI Asset Management Inc. and senior vice-president of investment solutions with Sun Life Canada, says sustainability is embedded in SLGI’s decision-making process.
“We believe that issues surrounding governance, the environment and society can directly impact an investment’s performance,” Smith said.
According to Sun Life’s latest sustainability report, the firm’s asset-management businesses had more than $60 billion in sustainable assets under management at the end of last year.
SLGI uses only third-party subadvisors that consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions. But for Smith, investing responsibly on behalf of clients isn’t enough SLGI needs to be the change it wants to see. When she was appointed president of SLGI in April, one of her first initiatives was establishing a corporate sustainability committee.
