Time to Act: Canadian businesses race to zero

In this roundtable, organized by the British High Commission and Corporate Knights, leading Canadian companies from a range of sectors will share their net zero journeys – why they made bold 1.5c aligned commitments, the challenges they faced, and how they overcame them. Our panellists will cover four themes: capital mobilisation, clean energy transition, non-financial disclosures, and SMEs.
