The code clearly outlines expectations for business practices and behaviour related to:

Reporting and accountability 

• We report to the ministers responsible for the Pension Plans through our quarterly financial statements and annual report.

• The annual report is made available to contributors to the Pension Plans and is tabled in each House of Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board.

• The President and CEO, and the Chair of the Board meet once a year with advisory committees appointed to oversee the Pension Plans.

• We hold an annual public meeting.

• We communicate on an ongoing basis with the Chief Actuary of Canada, Treasury Board officials and other Government of Canada officials in the execution of our statutory mandate.

• We undergo a yearly external audit pursuant to the Financial Administration Act (FAA). The Auditor General of Canada and Deloitte LLP serve as our joint external auditors and are also responsible for conducting Special Examinations at least once every 10 years.

The PSP Investments and Canada Growth Fund - Conflicts Policy was established to address the risk of any real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in the context of the investment management services provided by Canada Growth Fund Investment Management Inc. (the “Manager”) to Canada Growth Fund Inc. (“CGF”). It is intended to apply to situations where a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest arises (or may arise) between the interests of PSP Investments and /or the Manager, on the one hand, and  those of CGF, on the other hand, which is managed by the Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSP. 

PSP Investments strives to build an inclusive and accessible organization where people of all abilities can thrive and reach their full potential. In accordance with the Accessible Canada Act and the Accessible Canada Regulations, we have adopted an initial action plan to facilitate the integration of people with disabilities and help remove barriers to a fully accessible workplace by 2040. Our action plan is publicly available, and members of the public are invited to submit feedback to:
