Would you agree to financially support a company whose income is hidden in tax havens, sheltered from taxation? Or one that would hire young children to reduce its expenses? Or whose toxic discharges would kill all life around it? Yet this is what happens in a large proportion of investments, very often without their owners’ knowledge.

Growing at a rapid pace, responsible investing has become one of the major civic causes in our society. Defending people and the planet while benefiting from a strong portfolio is now a reality. This workshop, led by a facilitator who is not a finance specialist but is deeply socially committed, will raise your awareness of the real impacts of your portfolio: supporting good organizations and divesting from bad ones.

As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share with participants the benefit of his expertise and decades-long social commitment.

Activity accessible to all audiences: individuals, schools, companies, organizations

Present a comprehensive overview of the composition of a financial portfolio, aimed at regular investors as well as novices or those curious about finance.

Understand the history of responsible investment to measure its full depth and growing importance in the current transformation of our society.

Identify avenues for reflection to determine whether an investment is responsible or not, with a view to adopting a decision-making strategy that prioritizes responsible investments.

This workshop is part of a social change education program, which offers activities (e.g., conferences and seminars) allowing for a deeper exploration of certain themes.
