Responsible Investing at Guardian Capital LP

    OUR PHILOSOPHY

    At Guardian Capital LP (Guardian Capital), our core objective is to enhance long-term investment performance for our clients. An integral part of achieving this goal is our commitment to invest in companies that we believe are capable of generating long-term, sustainable growth.

    We believe that investee companies are best positioned to achieve long-term, sustainable growth when they:

    ...

    Engage in sustainable environmental practices

    ...

    Consider the effects of their operations on clients, employees and communities

    ...

    Have proper governance practices that protect the interests of all stakeholders

    OUR APPROACH

    Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are integrated into our investment processes and analysis of securities, and stewardship activities, which are commonly referred to as ESG Integration and Active Ownership, respectively.

    ENGAGEMENT

    Discussions with companies often yield valuable insight into their business strategy, views and approach while providing an avenue for our investment teams to encourage companies to improve their sustainability practices.

    PROXY VOTING

    When voting proxies for the companies we invest in, Guardian Capital investment teams take into consideration the investee company’s governance structure, commitment to sustainable environmental practices and consideration of social policies that foster the well-being of all stakeholders.

    The implementation is unique to each investment team and each investment strategy. In the same way that there is no “one size fits all” for investing, there is no “one size fits all” for determining how ESG factors are considered in the investment process by each investment team at Guardian Capital.

    Guardian Capital LP is a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI). The UN PRI does not prescribe the exclusion of any particular type of company or industry; rather it requires that, as the Manager, we are informed on the ESG issues, and that we are comfortable with the activities and practices of the companies that we invest in. Guardian’s approach to responsible investing is consistent with the framework provided by the UN PRI. Our Responsible Investing policies are publicly available on our website above.

    Responsible investing is an approach to investing that incorporates ESG considerations into investment decisions. This approach may incorporate considerations beyond traditional financial information into the investment selection process, which could result in investment performance deviating from other products with comparable objectives or from broad market benchmarks.
