Expanding local community support to Toronto

EIG has long supported communities in Quebec by investing in local microcredit organizations, which provide financing and business support to aspiring entrepreneurs who do not have access to conventional financing. 

Proactive engagement by Scotiabank

Heidi Monk

EIG has been very pleased with the responsiveness and willingness to engage by Scotiabank (see a summary of our engagement on climate change and diversity in 2021). This August Scotiabank took their engagement with EIG to a new level, by reaching out to us to offer to have a phone call where they could update us on recent progress. Two Senior Vice Presidents spent about 45 mins speaking with me on behalf of EIG: Julie Walsh, SVP, Corporate Secretary and Chief Corporate Governance Officer, Meigan Terry, SVP, Chief Communications and Social Impact Officer.
