  • Credit Union Guidebook
    Retail Impact Investing A GUIDEBOOK FOR CANADIAN CREDIT UNIONS FOREWORD Impact investing has the potential to be a growth opportunity and differentiator for the Canadian credit union sector. Today, impact investment options exist primarily for institutional and accredited investors. The opportunities for everyday investors to generate a return, while generating positive impact, are limited – this, despite evidence of market interest led by millennials and others. Credit unions are well positioned to tap into this opportunity. A core part of their mission is to ensure the financial, social and environmental well-being of the communities they serve: a mission that is aligned with the principles of impact investing. We see this Guidebook as a tangible resource to help credit unions address a marketplace gap and empower members to make investments that will have demonstrable, positive impacts in their communities. The Guidebook offers credit unions of all sizes and at all stages of their social responsibility journey actionable ideas of how to create and deploy retail impact investment products for their members. The guide also points to recommendations that the credit union sector as a whole can undertake. The Canadian Credit Union Association (CCUA) is committed to working with credit unions to explore how these recommendations can be advanced. We welcome your ideas and feedback - contact us at www.impactinvesting.ca/contact. CCUA is proud to have partnered with Purpose Capital, Employment and Social Development Canada, as well as a number of interested credit unions, to develop and share the research in this Guidebook. We want to extend our gratitude to Affinity Credit Union, Alterna Savings and Credit Union, Assiniboine Credit Union, Conexus Credit Union, DUCA Financial Services Credit Union, Libro Credit Union, Mennonite Savings & Credit Union, Meridian Credit Union, Servus Credit Union and Vancity Credit Union for their support and contribution to the development of this Guidebook.

  • Social Purpose Credit Union Self-Assessment
    SOCIAL PURPOSE CREDIT UNION SELF-ASSESSMENT 2017 Credit unions are formalizing and focusing their ‘social purpose’ to better meet member needs, play a stronger role in fostering resilient and co-operative communities and grow their businesses. This tool was developed to help them in that effort. Using the language of corporate social responsibility (CSR), it guides credit unions through a process of considering the purpose and focus of their social role – which includes the environment and extends beyond traditional banking and co-operative roles. This tool was first commissioned by Libro Credit Union, based in Ontario, Canada, to assist them in their strategic planning. Libro engaged Coro Strandberg, President of Strandberg Consulting, to draft the tool based on best practices in social purpose in financial institutions and consultation with “CSR” and values- based banking practitioners in the Canadian credit union system. It also incorporates leading corporate practices from outside the financial services sector. University Federal Credit Union, based in Texas, US, subsequently engaged Coro Strandberg to update the tool to reflect best practices in the United States and globally. The Social Purpose Credit Union Self-Assessment is designed to assist in credit union strategic planning. It is a four-stage checklist of best, leading and next practices in CSR, social purpose and values-based banking in seven areas: governance, members, employees, community, environment, suppliers and business partners and the co-operative sector. Author: Coro Strandberg is a leading sustainability and corporate responsibility consultant, with over 25 years of experience advising credit unions and other companies on the design and implementation of community investment, CSR, and social purpose business models and strategies.
