As part of CCUA's efforts to enhance collaboration and networking among members, several ESG-related groups are available for you to join. These groups aim to help you improve your community impact and ESG journey, regardless of where you are in it.

Highlighted below are the ESG-related groups:

• Community Impact Committee (CIC) - The purpose of the CIC is to act as a link between credit unions and the Canadian Credit Union Association as a management advisory committee. The CIC also provides expert guidance, advice, and perspective to CCUA Management on issues relating to credit union community impact and ESG; and acts as a forum at the national level for discussion and planning regarding credit union community impact initiatives and events.
• Climate Action Working Group (CAWG) — As climate-related disclosures evolve and the transition to a low-carbon economy occurs, the CAWG provides opportunities to share and learn about climate action and climate risks and supports credit unions in tracking and disclosing their portfolios’ carbon-emissions impact, joining other leading financial institutions worldwide.
• Diversity, and Inclusion Working Group (DEIWG) — The national CU working group assembles industry professionals from all system tiers to engage in meaningful conversations and share approaches to creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace and community.
• Financial Literacy Working Group (FLWG)—The working group's purpose is to serve as a forum for discussion, development, and advice on behalf of credit unions regarding opportunities to enhance Each One, Teach One as a national financial literacy program.

If you would like to join or learn more about any of these groups, please contact Bolu Omidiji.
