The University of British Columbia Investment Management Trust (UBC IMANT) is responsible for the investment of the University of British Columbia’s Endowment Fund, Staff Pension Plan and Working Capital.
As part of its responsible investment practices, UBC IMANT requires their external managers to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in investment decision-making as well as corporate engagements and proxy voting decisions. Additionally, UBC IMANT monitors managers’ responsible investment practices as well as their participation in responsible investing organizations. Moreover, UBC IMANT collaborates with peers to promote ESG integration and disclosures. UBC IMANT became a UN PRI signatory on behalf of the University of British Columbia (Endowment) in July 2020.
