A glance at our advancements in responsible investing in 2025

10 March 2026 by National Bank Investments

Our latest report highlights concrete advancements in responsible investing: an expanded range of sustainable investments solutions, greater transparency in disclosure, and an update on our climate commitments. Here is what you need to know about our progress.

1. A sustainable investment offering that continues to grow

In 2025, we continued to expand our range of sustainable investment solutions to better reflect some of the expectations and values of our clients by introducing several new solutions:

NBI Global Climate Ambition Fund
NBI Global Sustainable Bond Fund

This growth comes alongside a strengthening of exenhanced pertise across our network: more than 1,700 members of the Bank’s advisory forces completed dedicated responsible investing training, contributing to a more consistent practice across all regions.

2. Greater transparency with enhanced disclosures

To improve understanding of our responsible investing practices, we enhanced our disclosure in the report by adding new indicators and concrete case examples drawn from our various sustainable funds and ETFs.

These examples whether related to water management, equitable access to credit, or financing sustainable infrastructure clearly illustrate the real-world impact of our strategies on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. They also help explain how ESG factors are integrated into our analysis and influence investment decisions.

3. The first official follow up on our Climate Plan

This year, we completed the first formal follow-up on our Climate Plan, presenting the progress made on our commitments, including:

A detailed portrait of financed emissions related to all underlying listed equities and corporate bonds in our investment products.
Our advancement toward progressive alignment with a net zero scenario.

This exercise, which will be repeated annually, marks an important step in ensuring transparency, measuring progress, and making our commitments fully traceable over time.

Conclusion

The expansion of our sustainable offering, the improvement of our disclosure, and the publication of our first Climate Plan follow up all demonstrate a clear commitment: building a more resilient, more transparent investment platform that is better aligned with the issues reshaping finance to make it more sustainable.
