Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) is Canada's largest single-profession pension plan, with $242.5 billion in net assets. It pays pensions and invests plan assets on behalf of 318,000 working and retired teachers. OTPP invests to deliver outstanding service and retirement security for their members while leaving a lasting, positive impact on the world. OTPP brings long-term thinking and active investing to help build better businesses.

The Responsible Investing Team leads the development of Ontario Teachers’ responsible investing strategy and supports the integration of ESG factors in the Plan’s investment processes. This includes partnering with investment teams to identify ESG risks and opportunities throughout the investment lifecycle in private and public equity investments. 

Responsible Investing at OTPP is guided by four principles: 

1. Integrate ESG considerations into the investment process to manage risk and add value, 

2. Engage with portfolio companies to promote change and nurture success, ultimately enhancing their value creation, 

3. Help create a supportive and sustainable business environment, 

4. Evolve to build our institutional knowledge and to keep ahead of the curve. 

The Corporate Governance Team is guided by 4 Pillars of Board Effectiveness and works to ensure companies and markets adopt leading governance practices and create effective boards. Through quantitative and qualitative research along with peer networking, the Corporate Governance team continually seeks to develop new knowledge that pushes the boundaries of good governance.
