The Canada Climate Law Initiative has released Climate-Conscious Boards, a new guide urging Canadian tech firms to embed climate risk into core governance. It outlines fiduciary duties, regulatory trends, and disclosure requirements under frameworks like ISSB.
Highlighting leaders such as Shopify, OpenText, and Hootsuite, the guide showcases emissions tracking, ethical sourcing, and renewable energy efforts. Legal and executive voices stress that climate governance must go beyond compliance, citing operational risks and investor expectations. By acting now, boards can enhance resilience and competitiveness. The guide is available via CCLI’s website.
