On October 7, 2021, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced that it strongly supports the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Canadian offer to host the ISSB headquarters in Canada.
Canada has one of the most diversified economies in the world, with industries offering expertise, experience, history and leadership in standard-setting, governance, sustainability reporting and climate-related financial disclosures. Our issuers and large asset managers are committed to the development of comparable, high-quality environmental, social and governance standards and reducing carbon emissions, domestically and globally.
Canada is also recognized for fostering consensus, collaborative leadership and innovation on environmental issues. This includes the Canada-United Kingdom Partnership on Clean Growth and Climate Change, the Canada-EU High-Level Dialogue on Environment in 1983, and the High-Level Dialogue on Climate Change in 2010.
