2018–19 Gender-based analysis (GBA) plus

General information
Governance Not applicable.

As a newly established departmental corporation, a GBA implementation plan has not been established.

To help ensure GBA is integrated into decision-making, composition of the Board of Directors will aim for gender equality (50/50). In the recruitment of talent, Invest in Canada aims to capitalize on the gender, ethnic, and the age diversity that Canada has to offer.
Human Resources Not applicable.

No FTEs will be dedicated to GBA implementation due to the size of the corporation (67 employees).
Planned Initiatives Monitoring and reporting on GBA will be the responsibility of the leadership team and considered in the development and implementation of services. Performance indicators will be established and reported on regularly to the Board of Directors.

Once fully operational, Invest in Canada plans to work with non-traditional partners in Canada, where opportunities exist, to leverage investment from abroad. For example, unique investment opportunities and interests may lie with Canada’s indigenous communities to stimulate development and economic growth through foreign direct investment. In support of longer term goals of diversity and youth empowerment, Invest in Canada will assess the possibility of introducing an “FDI Fellows” program whereby some positions could be set aside for high performing, recent business school graduates. In addition, these business school graduates will also be targeted for business intelligence positions.

Invest in Canada is part of a much larger strategy to transform Canada’s place in the world. An important part of Canada’s value proposition includes its diversity advantage. In defining target sectors, the corporation will consider potential implications of investors on gender and diversity, and can work with investors to improve gender parity or diversity goals, while positioning Canada as a top of mind investment destination.

2018–19 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

March 2018

1. Context for the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

As a departmental corporation, Invest in Canada is not bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act and is not required to develop a departmental sustainable development strategy. However, Invest in Canada will adhere to the principles of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) by implementing the Policy on Green Procurement.

The Policy on Green Procurement supports the Government of Canada’s effort to promote environmental stewardship. In keeping with the objectives of the policy, Invest in Canada supports sustainable development by integrating environmental performance considerations into the procurement decision‑making process through the actions described in the “FSDS goal: low-carbon government” table in section 2, below.
