The Responsible Investment Association (RIA) is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting responsible investment in Canada. Established as the successor to the Social Investment Organization in 2013, the RIA emphasizes the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions. Its mission is supported by three strategic pillars: building a community of responsible investment professionals, advocating for supportive policies, and providing educational resources to raise awareness about responsible investing. The RIA hosts various events, including an annual conference and specialized workshops for retail advisors, to share insights and trends in responsible investment. It also produces reports, such as the Canadian Responsible Investment Trends Report and quarterly performance analyses of responsible investment funds. Membership with the RIA offers benefits like networking opportunities, professional development discounts, and a platform for promoting job vacancies and events. Additionally, the RIA operates the RI Marketplace, a directory for responsible investing products and services in Canada, enhancing visibility for its members.
