Socially Responsible Investing

Global impact with mutual funds.

Like regular mutual funds*, SRIs invest in well-known and lesser-known companies. The difference is:

Quality companies only
Investments must pass screening. In some cases the screening is for good environmental, social and corporate governance practices known as the ESG framework.
Supporting sustainable development
SRIs managed by Vancity Investment Management don’t invest in six industries considered harmful. VCIM looks to invest in companies that pursue the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.

Challenge the giants.

When you invest in Vancity Investment Management managed IA Clarington Inhance SRI Funds or VCIM pooled funds, your dollars give our portfolio managers a literal seat at the tables of the multinational corporations that you invest in. So, we show up to make your voices heard and take action:

Calling on Disney to change working conditions at factories
Working with Costco and Loblaws to reduce food waste
Urging banks to pay a living wage
