Collaboration details

The CEC’s development was inspired by Canada’s Expert Panel on Sustainable Finance, which in 2019 made a series of recommendations to align Canada’s financial system with a low carbon future. One of the Expert Panel’s recommendations was to establish a national engagement program, akin to the global Climate Action 100+ initiative, to drive a broader and more consistent dialogue with Canadian issuers around climate risks and opportunities. Climate Engagement Canada is that program. 

Objectives

CEC investor participants will identify approximately 40 of the country’s highest GHG-emitting corporations, and will work collaboratively to engage with these companies to encourage leading practices with respect to climate change risks and opportunities.
