Is ESG dead? No, but it may not be enough anymore. Millani's ninth Semi-Annual ESG Sentiment Study of Canadian Institutional Investors highlights asset managers and owners are no longer just considering ESG factors in their investment assessments but now expanding to the broader impacts (positive and/or negative) of their investments. This shift aligns with a growing adoption of double materiality assessments by issuers, a trend we observe in Canada and internationally.

Findings were obtained from 37 interviews conducted in June 2024 with asset owners and managers across Canada totalling over CA $5.4 trillion in AUM.

Canadian securities regulators propose semi-annual financial reporting pilot

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced a proposed multi-year pilot to allow eligible venture issuers to voluntarily adopt semi-annual financial reporting (the SAR Pilot). The SAR Pilot would provide an exemption for certain venture issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (TSXV) or the CNSX Markets Inc. (CSE) from the requirement to file first and third quarter financial reports under National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
