Government Advances Sustainable Investment Guidelines
The Department of Finance Canada has introduced guidelines aimed at promoting sustainable investments as part of its net-zero emissions target by 2050. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that these guidelines will help classify investments into 'green' and 'transition' categories. The initiative includes mandatory climate-related disclosures for large, federally incorporated companies. This move is part of a broader economic strategy that includes $93 billion in tax credits to foster a green economy.
