The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that trade tensions and geopolitical strife have shifted Canada's policy priorities away from climate change, but major investors say they remain focused on preparing companies for a transition to a low-carbon economy. The Globe's Jeffrey Jones writes that Ottawa's deprioritizing climate-related policies suggests a slower pace toward net zero. Behind the scenes, though, institutional investors want proof that the country's largest companies are still striving to lower their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change, including heat waves, wildfires and floods. A report grading large Canadian emitters on sustainability performance, published today by investor-led coalition Climate Engagement Canada, shows that accounting for climate risks is top of mind for asset managers and owners such as pension funds and insurers. Among those graded, fuel retailer Superior Plus scored improvements in a number of indicators, including short- and medium-term targets and decarbonization. Lundin Mining improved its scores in decarbonization and public policy engagement. Emera's scores declined in several areas, such as short-term targets, decarbonization and capital allocation.
