Around the world and in Canada, companies are seizing the opportunity to lead on the net zero transition.

In this roundtable, organized by the British High Commission and Corporate Knights, leading Canadian companies from a range of sectors will share their net zero journeys – why they made bold 1.5c aligned commitments, the challenges they faced, and how they overcame them. Our panellists will cover four themes: capital mobilisation, clean energy transition, non-financial disclosures, and SMEs.
