At Brookfield’s Public Securities Group, our highest commitment is to our fiduciary duty to create long-term value for our investors, ensuring we are working in their best interests and managing our business responsibly. Our stewardship and sustainability approach—like that of broader Brookfield Corp.—is aligned with that commitment. Our cross-functional Sustainable Investment Committee and Sustainable Operating Group guide our sustainable investing efforts.
Four Pillars of Our Sustainable Investing Approach
Our Sustainability Governance
Sustainable Investment Committee
The Sustainable Investment Committee (SIC) consists of representatives from across our investment, risk management and compliance oversight teams. The committee meets monthly to collaborate on and enhance PSG’s sustainability integration and engagement activities. As our investment teams engage and incorporate sustainability at the strategy level, our SIC provides a key link for sharing and incorporating best practices across the broader investment platform.
Sustainable Operating Group
Our Sustainable Operating Group (SOG) consists of representatives from across PSG. The group includes representatives from our investment, investor relations, marketing, sales, compliance, legal and operations teams. The SOG meets monthly to establish strategic sustainability initiatives; disseminate regulatory, legal and market information to all departments; and implement required changes across all materials. Our operations, legal and marketing departments are responsible for implementing and maintaining sustainability considerations across all aspects of product materials and regulatory requirements. In addition, internal collaboration between PSG and broader Brookfield helps in our efforts to integrate sustainability considerations into our investment approach. We collaborate with Brookfield, sharing best practices and sustainability initiatives. Brookfield and PSG sustainability leads meet regularly to share initiatives and best practices.
“We believe that well-governed companies with a demonstrated commitment to all stakeholders—not only to shareholders and creditors—are better positioned to realize long-term value and generate sustainable returns.”
