Why attend?

Led by a multidisciplinary faculty of leading practitioners, the program provides practical guidance applicable for a wide-range of professionals to build a solid knowledge foundation on the current and evolving expectations involving ESG, sustainability and climate risk, and tools for meeting expectations arising from technical standards and legal requirements. Steeped in legal risk management and day-to-day problem-solving, each module will delve into ‘what you need know’ about governance obligations, social responsibilities and risk, and climate/environmental risk and impacts including litigation, along with a focus on highlighting and discussing Indigenous rights, impacts and stewardship.

Over five engaging modules, registrants will get the actionable intel and tools to learn how to:

• Identify, distinguish and comply with core ESG, sustainability and climate related standards and frameworks applicable to Canadian businesses (in force and expected)
• Develop an adaptive ESG and sustainability framework and risk management goals within the corporate culture and decision-making process (including approaches to overcome ‘pushback’)
• Comprehend what is considered ‘green,’ and the core components for meeting key disclosure and transparency obligations to avoid growing greenwashing allegations and litigation risk
• Navigate the intersections of ESG, sustainability and climate factors with national and global laws, policies and rights, including Indigenous communities, values and the duty to consult
• Develop approaches for managing common liability exposures and ‘blind spots’ in light of the growing body of associated litigation, nationally and globally
