2025 Mackenzie Investments Event Sustainability Plan

At Mackenzie, we’re invested in a sustainable future. Inspired by our core values, we make decisions that benefit our people, clients, communities, and the planet, believing that today’s choices are essential for creating a more sustainable world.

Sustainability is integral to who we are and how we do business, and as allocators of capital, we can play an outsized role in advocating for the changes we need to see in the world.

Our event sustainability plan represents the best efforts of the Mackenzie Events team to reduce the environmental impact of the 2025 Spring Due Diligence series and to develop a baseline for future reduction goals.

We welcome and encourage input and feedback from all stakeholders on continuous improvement opportunities.
