Opinion: Canada’s companies are the worst in the G7 for disclosure on emission reduction targets

The richest countries make the most noise about trying to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. As they prepare for the next global climate conference, it’s clear they are coming up short on setting targets to achieve that.

“It’s obviously not ambitious enough. While this is happening, and COP27 is coming around the corner, the ambition needs to be accelerated in some way,” said Pratima Divgi, head of capital markets at CDP, which was formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project. But European companies have been leading the way in disclosing emission-reduction targets. Germany and Italy are at the front of the pack, with goals that pass muster with the Science-Based Targets initiative , a group that works to define the amount of greenhouse-gas reductions necessary to meet the Paris goal.

Canada is at the back of the pack, behind the United States, with corporate disclosure among 297 companies suggesting an increase of 3.1 degrees, according to CDP’s country-level numbers. Just 9 per cent of corporate emissions are covered by publicly announced targets, and only 4 per cent by targets that meet SBTi standards.

That could mean Canada’s numbers will improve in the coming years, as companies finalize baseline data before setting their goals, and as Canadian climate regulation is tightened. Globally, the newly created International Sustainability Standards Board stands to beef up disclosure, and targets, everywhere.
