Responsible Investment Policy Consultation - Completed

Please note that on November 24, 2016 the Board of Governors approved the Responsible Investment Policy.

Welcome to the Board of Governors webpage for consultations on a Lakehead University Responsible Investment Policy.

Consultation is a key component of the Board strategy to develop a Responsible Investment Policy, and to that end the RI Ad Hoc Committee invites interested parties to submit views that may inform its deliberations. 

The RI Ad Hoc Committee is particularly interested in responses to the following questions:

  • What environmental, social and governance issues and concerns should be addressed in a Lakehead University Responsible Investment Policy?
  • What options would you suggest Lakehead University should consider to address these issues and concerns? 
  • What other factors should we consider regarding processes and procedures for our Responsible Investment Policy?
