Acknowledgements

Argyle and ESG Global Advisors would like to thank the following organizations for helping us distribute the survey to their networks: TMX Group, Responsible Investment Association, Institute for Sustainable Finance, UN Global Compact Network Canada, and Canadian Association of Urban Financial Professionals. We greatly appreciate their support in spreading the word about this research. We extend our gratitude to each of the 73 organizations that participated in the research. 

We appreciate the time and effort they allocated to collecting the data and, where applicable, engaging with internal stakeholders to communicate the importance of social benchmarking data.

We want to thank Leger, the largest Canadian-owned polling, market research and analytics firm, for its partnership on Argyle’s Public Relationship Index since 2017. The 2022 edition of the Argyle/Leger study enabled us to understand the expectations of Canadian and U.S. employees, and how they rate their employers’ performance – providing an essential complement to the benchmarking data from organizations themselves.

Argyle and ESG Global Advisors would like to thank their respective staff members who led, executed, and advised on this project from conception to completion. We thank our teams for contributing their expert insights, analysis, and vital administrative support to help bring this important research to life.
