Millani’s Semi-Annual ESG Sentiment Study of Canadian Institutional Investors

Is ESG dead? No, but it may not be enough anymore. Millani's ninth Semi-Annual ESG Sentiment Study of Canadian Institutional Investors highlights asset managers and owners are no longer just considering ESG factors in their investment assessments but now expanding to the broader impacts (positive and/or negative) of their investments. This shift aligns with a growing adoption of double materiality assessments by issuers, a trend we observe in Canada and internationally.

Findings were obtained from 37 interviews conducted in June 2024 with asset owners and managers across Canada totalling over CA $5.4 trillion in AUM.
