Responsible investment in housing can contribute to social equality and other positive impacts consistent with an institutional investor’s fiduciary duties. Irresponsible property management practices can be associated with human rights issues that raise reputational\, regulatory\, legal and operational risks for institutional investors. \nIn this session\, SHARE will present a set of disclosures to support investors in conducting due diligence in residential real estate. The disclosures fill an important gap: They are a tool for investors to identify property management practices in their portfolio that are less aligned with responsible investment and foster market transparency. Investors can use this tool to engage their managers and/or building operators in public and private markets\, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and/or private equity fund managers. \nRegister here to attend. Registrants will receive a copy of the framework ahead of the session. \nSpeakers: \nTamara Herman\, Associate Director\, Responsible Investor Leadership\, SHARE \nJenn Miller\, Executive Officer\, Funding and Partnerships\, Atkinson Foundation \nIraz Soyalp\, PhD\, Senior Director\, Social Impact\, Manulife Investment Management \nCarolyn Whitzman\, PhD\, Adjunct Professor and Housing Researcher\, University of Toronto School of Cities and Consultant for the SHARE Investors for Affordable Cities Initiative URL:https://share.ca/event/investor-briefing-responsible-investment-in-housing-disclosure-framework/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Housing-Framework-Graphic-v1-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250305 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250307 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20240517T192446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250505T152256Z UID:24197-1741132800-1741305599@share.ca SUMMARY:SHARE Investor Summit 2025: The Power of Many DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThe SHARE Investor Summit brings together institutional investors — including pension funds\, foundations\, universities\, Indigenous trusts\, faith–based groups and asset managers — to strengthen investor collaboration and action around the critical environmental\, social and governance (ESG) challenges facing capital markets. \nAt the 2025 Summit\, we look forward to discussing solutions to our most pressing economic issues and exploring opportunities for co-ordinated investor action toward reconciliation\, climate action\, human rights\, affordable housing and racial equity.

Our panelists will discuss how worker-driven social responsibility (WSR) principles and initiatives like binding agreements can contribute to better risk mitigation for Nike and its shareholders and better outcomes for supply chain workers.   \nLike many companies\, Nike’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program substantially relies on social audits and voluntary initiatives to identify and address exploitative and unsafe working conditions in its global supply chain. However\, public evidence and research shows that these approaches often fail to identify\, mitigate and remediate severe human rights abuses such as wage theft\, inadequate health and safety or gender-based violence. This is particularly true in high-risk countries where pervasive and systemic exploitative labour practices persist.   \nIn response to this\, the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE)\, Domini Impact Equity Fund\, Trillium Asset Management\, Triodos Asset Management\, CCLA and PGGM have co-filed a shareholder proposal requesting a company report evaluating how implementing WSR principles and supporting binding agreements would impact Nike’s ability to identify and remediate human rights issues in sourcing from high-risk countries.  \nJoin us on Tuesday\, August 27 at 10:00am ET (4:00pm CEST) to learn more about the human rights risks that Nike faces in its supply chain and investor perspective on what better human rights due diligence should look like. Panelists will include investors and civil society actors\, sharing their unique and complementary perspective ahead of Nike’s Annual General Meeting.  \n\nMary Beth Gallagher\, Director of Engagement at Domini Impact Investments\nLisa Hayles\, Director of International Shareholder Advocacy at Trillium Asset Management\nChristina Hajagos-Clausen\, Director\, textile and garment industry at IndustriALL\nThulsi Narayanasamy\, Director of International Advocacy at the Worker Rights Consortium URL:https://share.ca/event/webinar-wsr-principles-and-human-rights-at-nike/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Nike-WSR-Promo-Graphic-image-only.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240604T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240604T110000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20240529T221748Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240531T193022Z UID:24237-1717495200-1717498800@share.ca SUMMARY:Driven to the Edge: An investor briefing on freedom of association and collective bargaining at Tesla DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTesla’s (TSLA) Annual General Meeting will take place on June 13th and investors are raising critical questions about the company’s track record of meeting internationally recognized labour rights standards. The company has been repeatedly accused of interfering with workers’ rights across its global operations which have exposed its shareholders to operational\, legal\, and reputational risks jeopardizing Tesla’s long-term value. Join us on June 4th for a webinar discussion where investors will hear directly from a Tesla worker\, a representative from the Swedish trade union (IF Metall)\, and concerned Tesla shareholders. The panel will discuss the associated risks of the automaker’s anti-union practices and a shareholder resolution calling for a Non-interference and Collective Bargaining Policy at Tesla. \nWhile Tesla has recently modified its Global Human Rights Policy\, the company continues to be entangled with credible allegations of violating its workers’ rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining. In Sweden\, Tesla is facing a prolonged strike and solidarity actions across northern Europe stemming from the company’s refusal to negotiate a collective agreement. Meanwhile in Germany – the location of its first European Gigafactory employing more than 11\,000 workers – the company faces allegations that it is refusing to bargain with a union. In the United States\, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued complaints against Tesla citing violations of its workers’ labour rights. In response to these troubling indicators\, a coalition of investors filed a shareholder resolution requesting the Tesla Board of Directors to adopt a comprehensive labour rights policy that explicitly commits the company to non-interference in worker organizing\, good faith and timely bargaining\, compliance with the highest labour standards\, and a processes to identify\, protect\, and remedy any labour rights violations. \nThis event\, co-hosted by SOC Investment Group and the Global Union’s Committee for Workers’ Capital (CWC)\, will bring together diverse voices from around the world to explore how Tesla can strengthen its policies and practices in line with investor expectations to better mitigate workforce-related risks. \n*Please note that unfortunately\, this event is not open to the press. \n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://share.ca/event/investor-briefing-foa-and-bargaining-at-tesla/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Mailchimp-Banner-Size-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240509T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240509T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20240424T193808Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240521T191031Z UID:24151-1715263200-1715266800@share.ca SUMMARY:Investor Roundtable on the Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin SHARE and the Financial Reporting and Assurance Standards (FRAS) for a conversation on the role of investors in implementing sustainability disclosure standards in Canada. \nThe Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) has released its first proposed Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards (CSDS)\, replicating recommendations put forth by the global baselines of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The CSSB has opened consultation on CSDS 1 and 2\, looking to hear from investors on proposed modifications and desired requirement changes. \nOn Thursday\, May 9th at 2:00 pm ET\, SHARE will be hosting a limited-attendance facilitated roundtable with the CSSB and FRAS. The roundtable will provide education on the standards\, followed by a discussion period centering current feedback and modifications from Canadian investors\, including the role of reconciliation and building investor/issuer consensus. \nThis will be a closed roundtable discussion with a maximum of 20 attendees. Registration will be approved on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so be sure to secure your spot as soon as possible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://share.ca/event/investor-roundtable-on-the-canadian-sustainability-disclosure-standards/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Mailchimp-Banner-Size-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240430T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240430T110000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20240402T182719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240406T010202Z UID:24130-1714471200-1714474800@share.ca SUMMARY:Labour at the Table at Amazon: 2024 Proxy Walk-through DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nKey labour rights issues at Amazon will be discussed during this webinar hosted by SHARE and UNI Global Union. A panel featuring investors\, a labour rights expert and a worker will delve into the workforce-related risks that Amazon and its workers face and offer practical insights on how investors can address them during this proxy season and beyond. \nAt Amazon’s upcoming annual general meeting\, shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on two proposals addressing high stakes\, material labour rights risks at the Company: \nProposal on Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining: Filed by SHARE on behalf of the Catherine Donnelly Foundation and supported by a coalition of more than 20 investors\, this proposal urges the Board of Directors to commission an independent\, third-party assessment of Amazon’s adherence to its stated commitment to workers’ freedom of association and collective bargaining rights\, as outlined in the company’s Global Human Rights Principles. \nProposal on Health and Safety in Warehouses: Filed by Tulipshare\, this proposal asks the Board to commission an independent audit and report of the working conditions and treatment that Amazon warehouse workers face\, including the impact of its policies\, management\, performance metrics\, and targets. \nAlthough not new to the ballot\, these proposals are both addressing highly topical issues and risks that demand investors’ attention and action. This webinar brings together diverse voices from around the investor table including investors\, labour rights experts and current Amazon workers at the forefront of change and advocacy. With a wide range of perspectives\, this informative discussion will answer your most pressing questions about why these votes matter\, and how your voting decisions can contribute to better risk mitigation at Amazon and across your investment portfolio. \nThis webinar is hosted by SHARE and UNI Global Union\, with support from Tulipshare and Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR). \nPlease note the event will take place on Tuesday\, April 30 at 10 a.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)/3 p.m. BST (British Summer Time).

Second\, respect for labour rights enables investors to mitigate systemic and company-specific risks. And third\, freedom of association and collective bargaining\, along with other worker rights such as the right to a safe and healthy workplace\, can improve corporate performance. \nThe Labour Rights Investors Network will provide investors with the actionable information they need to engage on labour issues\, uphold their responsibilities to respect human rights\, mitigate workplace risks\, and drive stronger returns. An initiative of the Global Unions’ Committee on Workers’ Capital (CWC)\, the Network will offer events and resources\, including regular opportunities for education and exchange on issues such as identifying labour risks\, the impact of different legal contexts\, and how stewardship can improve transparency and performance on freedom of association and collective bargaining. The Network will provide written resources\, bring workers to share their experiences\, and connect investors to experts in such areas as international labour standards\, country-specific labour laws\, and workplace health and safety. \nOur first webinar will provide a selection of the types of content the Network will offer. You will hear from workers who have experienced labour risk first hand\, learn about one company’s approach to mitigating that risk\, hear from an investor on why freedom of association is an important topic for stewardship\, and have a chance to ask an international labour rights expert questions. We will provide an overview of the network and what you can expect from joining. \nWe are hosting two sessions of this webinar and invite you to register for the session that best fits your time zone and schedule as both events will follow the same agenda. \nRegister for one of the two sessions here URL:https://share.ca/event/labour-rights-investor-network-an-introductory-webinar/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Labour-Rights-Investor-Network-PROMO-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231031T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231031T143000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20231003T214151Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231003T214151Z UID:23866-1698757200-1698762600@share.ca SUMMARY:The Religious Investors Online Meeting DESCRIPTION:Join us for a religious investor online meeting on October 31 \nCanadian religious institutions will gather for a 90-minute online meeting to hear presentations and exchange experiences as we strive to bring a faith perspective to investment.

Rising housing costs have been accompanied by a surge in institutional investment in the multifamily rental market – a phenomenon known as the financialization of housing. The investments that pension funds\, asset managers\, private equity firms and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are coming under increasing scrutiny. \nThere are few tools to guide investors in navigating environmental\, social and governance (ESG) considerations related to the human right to adequate housing in the housing sector. The Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) had developed a draft set of principles and an implementation framework for responsible investment in housing. You are invited to a roundtable session to discuss these principles and provide input into the final version. The document will be sent to all participants prior to the event. \nThis session will include a presentation of the principles and framework and a discussion addressing questions such as: \n\nWhat should be included in a set of principles for institutional investment in housing?\nWhat types of practices should be encouraged and/or discouraged in residential real estate investment?\nWhat can and should investors expect of their asset managers and operators?\nWhat action can pension fund trustees and trade unions take to align the investment of workers’ capital with workers’ needs and interests – in the short\, medium and long term?\n\nDate: June 7\, 2023\nTime: 10 am PT | 1 pm ET\nAudience: pension fund trustees\, trade union members and trade union representatives URL:https://share.ca/event/union-and-trustee-roundtable-responsible-investment-in-rental-housing/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Affordable-Housing-Header-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230524T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230524T104500 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20230426T204924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230426T205359Z UID:23584-1684922400-1684925100@share.ca SUMMARY:REITs and the right to adequate housing: Disclosures and human rights risks (Report Launch) DESCRIPTION:A wide range of investors are exposed to residential Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in their equities portfolios. As the Canadian housing crisis deepens\, the growing participation of institutional investors in the rental housing market is under scrutiny\, raising human rights issues that are associated with reputational and regulatory risks for REITs and their investors. Do REITs provide disclosures that enable investors to understand\, prevent\, mitigate or address these human rights risks? \nThis webinar presents a synopsis of a new report from SHARE that identifies a set of recommended disclosures for REITs that would enable investors to assess the impacts of their activities on housing affordability\, security of tenure and habitability. \nThe webinar will summarize our initial assessment of Canada’s six largest residential REITs against these metrics\, looking at rent levels\, eviction rates and approaches to building maintenance. \nSpeaker information coming soon. \nRegister Now URL:https://share.ca/event/reits-and-the-right-to-adequate-housing-disclosures-and-human-rights-risks-report-launch/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/scott-szarapka-2-B9yMEh2mk-unsplash-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20230504T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20230504T110000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20230411T220700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230420T031710Z UID:23558-1683194400-1683198000@share.ca SUMMARY:Investors for Freedom of Association: Amazon Workers' Rights and the 2023 Proxy Season Webinar DESCRIPTION:In advance of the Amazon Annual General Meeting\, we would like to invite you to our upcoming webinar discussing the investor case for freedom of association and collective bargaining.\nOn May 4\, at 10 a.m. ET\, join us for a conversation on workers’ rights and investor advocacy. Register Now\n\n\nThe right to freedom of association and collective bargaining are fundamental human rights protected under the International Labour Organization (ILO) Core Conventions and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. However\, a number of companies\, including Amazon\, claim adherence to these international human rights standards\, but have been criticized over allegations of interference with workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively. \nA group of investors—including the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE)\, SOC Investment Group\, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI)\, AP3 Third Swedish National Pension Fund\, CCLA Investment Management (CCLA) and Actiam—have filed a shareholder proposal asking Amazon to commission an independent\, third-party assessment of the Company’s adherence to its stated commitment to workers’ freedom of association and collective bargaining rights. \nAs public reports suggest that Amazon’s actions may contradict its human rights commitments\, our panelists will discuss investors’ expectations on companies’ responsibility to uphold freedom of association and collective bargaining rights\, and specifically address Amazon’s human rights policies and conduct towards employees seeking to organize. \nPanelists will include: \n\nUS and UK Amazon workers\nLance Compa\, Senior Lecturer Emeritus\, Cornell ILR\nMartin Buttle\, Better Work Lead at CCLA Investment Management\nEmma Bayes\, Director of ESG Engagement at SOC Investment Group\nModerator: Sarah Couturier-Tanoh\, Associate Director of Corporate Engagement and Advocacy\, SHARE\n\nRegister Now URL:https://share.ca/event/event-foa-labour-workersrights-proxy-season-2023/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/maarten-van-den-heuvel-KSQgzzn3dW0-unsplash1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230301T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230301T120000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20230222T214844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230222T220810Z UID:23434-1677666600-1677672000@share.ca SUMMARY:Investor Webinar: Workplace Rights and Starbucks DESCRIPTION:With unionization efforts at Starbucks and other US companies continuing into 2023\, workplace rights have become an increasingly important topic of investor engagement. \nA number of the companies where workers are seeking to organize\, and face resistance\, claim adherence to fundamental rights at work such as freedom of association and collective bargaining. Some companies that cite support for ILO core conventions in their workplace and human rights policies also actively campaign against the exercise of these rights. \n\n\n\nInvestors have responded by filing resolutions at a number of US companies that call on them to undertake an independent review of the application of their existing workplace rights policies. The first resolution of this type that will go to the vote in 2023 is at Starbucks on 23rd March. \nThis event will focus on the conflict between companies’ stated policies on workplace rights and practice on the ground\, with a focus on Starbucks. It will explore the importance of non-interference by employers when employees are considering representation by a union. It will also hear from the filers of the resolution at Starbucks on their expectations of the company. \n\n\nSpeakers include: \n\nStarbucks workers who have sought to unionise who will talk about their experiences of the company’s response to organising and to bargaining.\nBrad Lander\, New York City Comptroller\nJonas Kron\, Chief Advocacy Officer\, Trillium Asset Management\nSarah Couturier-Tanoh\, SHARE\nTom Powdrill\, PIRC\nEmily Sims\, Senior Specialist\, ILO\n\nRegister Now URL:https://share.ca/event/investor-webinar-workplace-rights-and-starbucks/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://share.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/asael-pena-n-HtQS7IgU4-unsplash-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="PIRC":MAILTO:PIRC_Press@pirc.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230214T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230216T133000 DTSTAMP:20260407T044246 CREATED:20220916T005803Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230203T040927Z UID:23243-1676376000-1676554200@share.ca SUMMARY:SHARE Investor Summit: The Power of Many DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this year’s event are now SOLD OUT.
