Embracing better ways of doing business and creating value
It's clear that the ability to generate attractive long-term financial performance relies on working with all our stakeholders to deliver lasting social and environmental benefits. Fiera Infrastructure’s ESG practices, embedded throughout our organization and in our investment and asset management processes, demonstrate our deep commitment to having a positive impact on the environments and communities we operate in globally.
Our Approach
Fiera Infrastructure incorporates the identification, assessment and management of ESG factors into its investment decision-making, asset management and ownership practices. We’re of the firm belief that a responsible approach to investment and ownership will add long-term value for all of our stakeholders and that the integration of ESG factors is an essential component of sustainable value creation.
Fiera Infrastructure’s approach to ESG integration is cooperative and tailored to each opportunity, remaining a core consideration throughout the entire investment and asset management cycle. Our ESG Committee sets our ESG strategy and oversees its execution. Furthermore, we participate in and support several industry-led ESG initiatives and frameworks, including the GRESB Infrastructure Assessment, the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Fiera Infrastructure has developed a standardized framework for assessing ESG factors in new investment opportunities and on an ongoing basis at our portfolio companies. Considerable time and resources are devoted to identifying and understanding these ESG factors, with the appropriate steps taken to mitigate risks and realize opportunities. Across our portfolio, we continuously monitor and analyze the impact our investments have on the environment and social settings in which they operate to ensure we understand and identify potential opportunities for improvement.

Case Studies
Action on Climate Change
At Fiera Infrastructure, we recognize the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to our organization, our portfolio companies and the communities in which we operate, as well as the broader global economy and environment.
Climate considerations play a major role in our investment strategy, diligence, active management, monitoring and reporting of our investments. We’re in the process of developing a framework to outline how we intend to address the effects of climate change, rooted in our objective of protecting against both imminent and long-term investment risks.
Fiera Infrastructure, through its parent company, Fiera Capital Corporation, has joined the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, an international group of asset managers committed to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner. As part of this commitment, we will start with a subset of our portfolio to be managed in line with achieving net zero emissions and over time we’ll expand this program to cover all investments in our portfolio before 2050.
To support our climate commitment, we quantify portfolio emissions annually, integrate climate risks and opportunities into ongoing portfolio monitoring and apply the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations to inform our climate strategy and disclosure.
ESG Committee Members
Fiera Infrastructure’s ESG Committee shapes strategy and leads ESG integration efforts. The Committee has put in place a comprehensive process to identify and assess the expected impact of ESG factors on long-term value.
The Committee is comprised of experienced team members from each business area, with the goal of bringing forward diverse and fulsome perspectives.

Fiera Infrastructure recognizes that the promotion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) has a wide-reaching positive impact on our investors, employees and the communities we operate in.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diversity of thought and perspective fuels our ability to generate innovative solutions, enabling us to build sustainable prosperity for all our stakeholders. As such, we strive to cultivate an inclusive, safe and trusting environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and can bring their full selves to work.
As we continue to grow, we aspire to achieve a level of diversity that reflects the communities and organizations we serve and support around the globe. Our deliberate approach at Fiera Infrastructure has been to embed inclusion and diversity principles across all aspects of our business, including the recruitment and professional development of employees, performance monitoring and retention efforts across our operations. We are working to implement systems to hold our portfolio companies to the same standard.
