Finance et Investissement –Le Groupe Investissement Reponsable Inc. (GIR) et l’organisation SHARE (Shareholder Association for Research & Education) s’associent pour créer le nouveau GIR, une coentreprise visant à devenir le seul fournisseur canadien de services de vote par procuration pour les investisseurs institutionnels.
The latest research from SHARE finds Canadian oil and gas companies are continuing to lobby for weaker climate regulations in the interest of short-term profits, while providing inadequate disclosure to investors.
SHARE set out to benchmark Canadian firms’ disclosure on climate lobbying, including that done by trade associations like CAPP. Our goals were to gather relevant information for investors about the current state of play, best practices, and to identify areas of concern for future engagements with those same firms.
