The Social Investment Organization is a national network committed to integrating social responsibility and environmental sustainability with investment. We are a membership-based organization that includes financial institutions, investment firms, financial advisors and investors. Our members serve more than half a million depositors and investors in Canada.

The SIO's mandate is to promote the practice of socially responsible investment (SRI), which includes screening on social and environmental issues, shareholder advocacy to improve corporate responsibility and community investment to help local development.

SIO members believe that SRI represents a useful tool to improve investment returns and to reduce risk. It is also a powerful catalyst to help make corporations more responsible and sustainable.

Call to Action

The SIO is working to reform investment regulations that would open up mutual fund voting on shareholder proposals at the companies in their portfolios. At present, mutual funds are under no obligation to disclose how they vote their shares. To find out more, click here.
