ESG Leadership In The Canadian Energy Sector

The fossil fuel industry continues to face pressure from stakeholders including shareholders, financiers and employees as well as other parties taking aim at the industry's environmental, social and governance (ESG) record.

Over the last decade, we have seen Canadian producers continue to grow as global leaders in research and development spending and deployment of clean technologies. They have also progressed their objectives in terms of broader ESG trends, toward improved environmental performance, relationships with Indigenous groups, employee safety, and diversity in corporate governance structures. With these industry trends set to continue, investors with a holistic view of ESG indicators may do well to keep watch on the opportunities that are being cultivated.
