TORONTO – April 19, 2018 – The Responsible Investment Association (“RIA”) is pleased to announce that Greenchip Financial (“Greenchip”) has joined the RIA as a Supporting Member.

“We are very pleased to welcome Greenchip to the Responsible Investment Association,” said Dustyn Lanz, CEO of the RIA. “Greenchip is a champion for sustainability-themed investing, and we look forward to working with them to engage and educate Canadian investors about the value of incorporating sustainability into investment decisions.”

The RIA is Canada’s industry association dedicated to advancing responsible investment, which refers to the incorporation of ESG factors into the selection and management of investments. RIA membership has grown rapidly in recent years as investors increasingly seek investments that align with their values and manage exposure to ESG risks and opportunities.

“After a decade investing exclusively in companies whose products and services address sustainability challenges, we’re thrilled to join the Responsible Investment Association of Canada,” said John Cook, CEO of Greenchip Financial. “Capital allocation is crucial to building a more sustainable economy and the RIA is an important advocate and promoter for sustainable investing.”
