University Pension Plan (UPP) welcomes the Government of Canada’s funding to advance a voluntary, made-in-Canada green and transition taxonomy.

As we approach the end of 2025, Barb Zvan, UPP’s President and CEO, reflects on a year of purpose and progress for UPP.

UPP has been recognized as one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for 2026 by Mediacorp. This annual competition celebrates organizations whose workplace culture, total rewards programs and forward-thinking policies set them apart.

UPP remains focused on advancing our Climate Action Plan (CAP), which targets net-zero portfolio emissions by 2040 or sooner.

UPP is increasing the UPP portion of pensions in pay by 1.49% on January 1, 2026.

This represents a significant advancement for retirement security and a meaningful step toward expanding access to defined benefit pensions across the province.

UPP’s Barbara Zvan has been named the 2025 CEO of the Year by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) as part of its annual Ontario Business Achievement Awards (OBAAs), which celebrate leadership, innovation, and impact across Ontario’s business community.
