Co-operative Identity
SANTIAGO PINTO, FINANCIAL ADVISOR
We are a proud Canadian co-operative. Our heritage and values shape our approach to business, resulting in a different & better client experience. We began as farmers and social pioneers; today, we continue to be a socially conscious and sustainable organization that meets its business goals without forgetting what’s most important — the Canadian people.
Governance, Membership, & Community Connections
Unlike shareholder organizations, we’re 100% democratically owned and governed by a Board of Directors that is elected from our member organization. Our mission, vision, values and strategic direction are set with a long-term view that balances the bottom-line with the needs of our clients and their communities.
Advisors, staff, and members are inspired ambassadors who engage in community programming that organically builds our trust and reputation. Through our Community Advisory Panels we listen and respond to feedback from our communities. We also partner with community organizations on youth leadership, climate change, health and safety.
Sustainability & Citizenship
Our Corporate Vision inspires us to be a catalyst for a sustainable society and our sustainability vision shows how we can achieve it. Sustainability encompasses the social, environmental and economic priorities that guide our day-to-day work, including those of our advisors. Embracing sustainability today will give us a competitive advantage tomorrow.
By investing approximately 5% of our pre-tax profits in our communities, we live our mission and far exceed the requirements to be an Imagine Canada Caring Company. Our Community Investment Vision outlines three areas of impact: Environmental Sustainability, Economic, and Social Sustainability.
