To stay competitive and attract investment, Canada must send clearer and more consistent signals to capital markets about the climate readiness of Canadian projects and companies.
Business Future Pathways provides practical, made-in-Canada sustainable investment guidelines and transition plan guidance to help mobilize investment in Canada’s clean growth and transition priorities.
Who We Are
Business Future Pathways brings together financial and technical expertise to establish and advance the foundations for sustainable investment in Canada. We are governed by an independent Council and work closely with a wide range of public and private stakeholders and rightsholders.
Why it Matters
Sustainable finance taxonomies and climate transition plans are science- and market-based tools that make capital markets work better and improve climate readiness.
Canada must attract upwards of $100 billion each year to secure its long-term competitiveness and prosperity through the low-carbon transition. Investors are increasingly factoring climate-readiness into capital allocation decisions. A made-in-Canada taxonomy and transition planning guidance standardizes this market information, signalling and strengthening investor confidence in Canadian projects and companies that are effectively managing their climate risk and seizing clean growth opportunities.
