For 10 years, Corporate Knights has measured companies' performances in everything from environmental stewardship to workplace safety. In so doing, it gives investors the information they need to reward socially and environmentally responsible companies by investing in them.
With an equity injection from the Resilient Capital Program—a joint program created by Vancity and the Vancouver Foundation—Corporate Knights plans to expand its unique measurement system worldwide. It's an expansion that Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights CEO, hopes will make a lasting impact.
"Whether our civilization thrives or declines depends on the extent to which private sector power can be harnessed to solve the big problems that confront us," says Toby.
Initiatives like The Resilient Capital Program give depositors the comfort of a guaranteed investment while helping companies like Corporate Knights Inc. lay the foundation for positive social change.
