How Canada’s Largest Firms Measure Up on Social Purpose
Even amid pushback on ESG, expectations for companies to help solve global challenges are rising — not retreating. A new TSX 60 Social Purpose Report Card shows that nearly half of Canada’s biggest firms have now embraced a social purpose, but governance is lagging behind.
