In the beginning of 2014, Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan is contemplating two distinct choices in investing in oil and gas industry, brought forward by his team. He is tempted to know the best technique to make sure that the principles are absorbed in the decision about which to pick.
Each investment looks quite attractive, but a growing flow of controversies surrounding oil sands extraction, pipeline security and environmental protection has raised several dilemmas. He confronts multiple questions: How can the impact of these environmental, societal and governance problems be quantified precisely?
