IN THIS EPISODE:

Are your savings fuelling climate change?
Canadians are sitting on record levels of savings. These household savings are being leveraged, in turn, by banks and pension funds to make major investments. But what kinds of investments? Are your savings being used to finance major fossil fuel projects? What is your bank and your pension fund doing with your savings behind your back?

Guests: Barbara Zvan – President and CEO at University Pension Plan & Toby Heaps – Publisher & Editor-in-Chief at Corporate Knights
