ESG & DEI Overview

Throughout 2023, we demonstrated how a commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are among our defining strengths.

Highlights

Developed our first ESG Report, with an accompanying microsite, which was published in April 2024.

Our Commitment to ESG and DEI

Together with our investment manager, IMCO, we are committed to integrating ESG factors into our investment strategy, to improve our capacity to manage risk and to take advantage of opportunities.

OPB’s commitment to ESG is also reflected in the culture and day-to-day operations of OPB.

Why ESG Matters

OPB is committed to continuing to advance our progress on ESG, including DEI, because it better positions us to protect the long-term financial health of the Plan, deliver excellent service to our clients and provide our employees with a collaborative, caring and inclusive environment.

IMCO and OPB are both long-term investors, and our approach aligns on how to consider all material risks, as well as opportunities, including those relating to ESG when it comes to executing our long-term strategy.”

Chris Kautzky, Chief Investment Officer

As an organization of public servants, we believe OPB should reflect the diverse client communities we serve through our people, our policies and our approach to providing excellent client service to our members. Continuing to make progress on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is a priority for our leadership, staff and Board.”
