In a letter to the members of the Board of Trustees at @HOOPPnow, and on behalf of RNAO’s 57,250+ members, our CEO @DorisGrinspun underscores their fiduciary responsibility and the long‑term interests of HOOPP members. She urges the adoption of a credible, climate‑safe investment strategy that protects the pensions of all Ontario health‑care workers. ✅ Recognize that limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires immediately ending the expansion of fossil fuel production and infrastructure. ✅ Establish clear, time‑bound plans for reducing and ultimately eliminating exposure to fossil fuel assets across relevant asset classes. ✅ Ensure that engagement with portfolio companies includes transparent expectations, measurable milestones, and clear escalation mechanisms when companies fail to align with credible transition plans. ✅ Extend climate targets beyond 2030 and embed them within a framework of regular strategy updates and interim milestones that allow trustees and beneficiaries to evaluate progress over time. ✅ Maintain transparency regarding shareholder engagement and voting practices so beneficiaries can understand how climate considerations are incorporated into investment stewardship.
