Canada’s biggest public pension funds manage over $2 trillion.
Their investment decisions influence whether businesses in Canada and around the world build electric cars and solar panels, or diesel engines and fossil gas pipelines.
At the same time, these pension funds’ ability to generate returns for their members over the long-term depends on a stable climate.
That’s why Shift works with pension members and beneficiaries to protect pensions and the planet.
Canadian Pension Climate Report Card
Shift’s annual Canadian Pension Climate Report Card is an independent benchmark for evaluating the quality, depth and credibility of climate policies for 11 of Canada’s largest pension managers.
The third edition, released in February 2025, reveals Canada’s pension sector building internal climate expertise, beginning to help portfolio companies decarbonize, and moving towards strengthening fossil fuel exclusions. The report also exposes a troubling divergence between leading and lagging institutions – and reveals which of Canada’s pension giants are well-positioned to step up as political headwinds and worsening climate impacts test their resolve.
