In connection with its Plan d'action 2023, and its sustainable development strategy, Retraite Québec conducted a survey with plan administrators in May and June of 2023. According to Retraite Québec’s website, the survey had three main objectives: 

  • to measure the extent to which ESG factors are currently taken into account in plans;
  • to establish indicators that will make it possible to set targets for the integration of ESG factors into plans, and to monitor their implementation over time, and;
  • to guide Retraite Québec’s actions with respect to ESG integration.

The survey found that half of the respondents consider themselves “beginners”, meaning they know the basic concepts of sustainable investments, or have no knowledge concerning sustainable investments at all. 14% of respondents consider their level of sustainable investment knowledge to be “advanced”. Almost two-thirds (64%) of respondents said they would like to see Retraite Québec offer training on sustainable investments.
