CSA roundtable on ESG-related regulatory issues in asset management
Sep 30, 2021
In September 2021, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) released a recording of a virtual roundtable it hosted on environmental, social and governance (ESG) related regulatory issues in asset management.
An expert panel discussed a number of regulatory issues arising from increased interest in ESG investing from Canadian investors and the investment fund industry. Panelists addressed the importance of enhancing ESG-related fund disclosure so that investors are not misinformed about the ESG-related aspects of a fund – known as “greenwashing” - and can make more informed investment decisions. The panel also explored the benefits and challenges associated with ESG-related fund disclosure from the perspective of asset managers, ESG ratings providers and retail investors.
Listen to the recording.
