CPD for Lawyers: 1 Substantive Hour
REGISTER
Is ESG dead or simply evolving to match a turbulent global landscape? And what’s in store for DEI in 2026 and beyond? As political tides shift and global markets recalibrate, ESG and DEI are under more scrutiny than ever. Canadian companies are facing a new era of legal risk, reputational exposure and regulatory complexity. But while the acronyms may be under fire, the principles behind them – sustainability, accountability, inclusion, equity and good governance – remain more relevant and vital than ever.
Join members of our ESG & Sustainability Group and Diversity & Inclusion Committee for an insightful discussion offering legal insights and practical tools to help you lead with clarity amidst a rapidly changing ESG and DEI landscape.
Topics include:
- How U.S. political shifts are influencing ESG and DEI sentiment and strategy in Canada
- Key Canadian legal updates on ESG including disclosure and greenwashing enforcement
- Managing cross-border risks and compliance challenges
- Shifting from a performance-based approach to a harmonious implementation of ESG and DEI measures
- Practical steps for integrating ESG and DEI into contracts and governance frameworks
