SUSTAINABLE REPORTING: A TRANSFORMATIVE LEVER FOR GLOBAL FINANCE
11:00 am -12:00 pm
Sustainability reporting is rapidly evolving with new global standards, including the ISSB’s framework and inclusion of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), driving greater consistency in climate-related disclosures. Meanwhile, Europe’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and increasing litigation risks in the U.S. are reshaping expectations, raising critical questions for Canadian investors and companies operating across these jurisdictions. How are Canadian investors adapting to these shifting regulatory landscapes? What are the implications for companies headquartered in Canada with operations in the U.S. and Europe, particularly under CRSD, Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards CSDS1, and CSDS2? As disclosure requirements continue to converge, how can investors and businesses navigate these changes to support Canadian competitiveness and drive meaningful progress in sustainable finance?
