Tell the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan (OTPP)
to Protect Your Pension and the Planet
ShiftOTPP monitors the fossil fuel and climate-related investments of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) and works to protect pensions and the climate. We bring together Ontario teachers and their pension fund to engage on the climate crisis. We help teachers understand where their retirement wealth is being invested and how to engage with their OTPP fund managers investing it. Now is the time for Ontario teachers to protect their retirement savings and ensure a climate-safe future for young people.

We’re calling on the OTPP to:
Immediately disclose:
a complete list of assets under management that are aligned with a zero-carbon economy by mid-century at the latest;
a complete list of assets that are allocated toward high-carbon investments like fossil fuel companies and infrastructure;
Explain how any high-carbon investments are aligned with the Paris agreement goal to limit global temperature increases to 1.5° Celsius;
Immediately place an exclusionary screen on new oil, gas, coal and pipeline investments;
Phase out all current oil, gas, coal and pipeline investments within the year;
Decarbonize its portfolio by 2040;
Establish ambitious and timebound targets for increased investments in profitable climate solutions; and
Pressure companies in its portfolio to: refrain from lobbying activities that undermine ambitious climate policy, set timelines for reducing emissions, and link executive compensation to measurable climate goals.
