CSA announces climate change disclosure review project
Mar 21, 2017
On March 21, 2017, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced a project to review the disclosure of risks and financial impacts associated with climate change.
The project will gather information on the current state of climate change disclosure in Canada and internationally, and will include consultation with investors and reporting issuers.
Reporting issuers in Canada are currently required to disclose material risks, which may include risks associated with climate change, among other environmental matters, in their periodic disclosure.
CSA Staff intend to review disclosure prepared by large TSX-listed reporting issuers on the material risks and financial impacts associated with climate change as well as related governance processes.
Review the press release on the CSA's website.
