The activities include integrating ESG considerations across all investment classes, proxy voting in accordance with internally developed principles, engagement with investee companies and collaboration with other like-minded investors, RBC GAM said in a statement.
RBC GAM CIO Dan Chornous said: "While ESG integration is not new to our investment process, adopting the UN PRI further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to responsible investing.
"Implementing the principles of the UN PRI across all our investment classes and ensuring our teams are sufficiently resourced to deliver on that promise is consistent with our primary focus on maximizing returns for our clients."
RBC GAM’s CGRI group head and vice president Judy Cotte said: "We believe that our role as an active, engaged and responsible owner allows us to enhance the long-term, sustainable performance of our investment solutions."
