2022-2025 organizational strategy
With the foundational progress underway and a world-class team forming, we are excited by the choices articulated through our inaugural strategy. Those choices reflect our vision to be a best in-class solution and the trusted pension plan for the university sector.
UPP was designed to deliver a best-in-class defined benefit pension that meets the unique needs of university employers and employees. Our 2022-2025 organizational strategy, Pursuing our potential, is our blueprint as we build the foundations for a resilient, high-performing Plan for members while establishing UPP as the trusted pension plan for Ontario’s university community.
In developing our strategic plan, we engaged with our members and Plan Sponsors (including university employers, faculty associations, and unions) to ensure we understood their needs and experiences, as well as their expectations of UPP.
Our strategy is led by UPP’s experienced Executive Leadership team and overseen by our highly qualified Board of Trustees. Progress is regularly measured and reported, and key developments are captured in our annual reports.
Our 2022–2025 organizational strategy serves as a critical beacon in
our build, defined through six key imperatives:
