Redefining Corporate Sustainability Briefing

Join Erik Mielke, SVP, Global Head of Corporate Research, Rachel Schelble, Director, Corporate Research, Peter Findlay, Director, CCUS Research, and Jonah Resnick, Senior Analyst, Canada Upstream Research who will present our views on corporate sustainability in a global and Canadian context, and the status and impact of decarbonization pathways. 

A variety of topics will be covered including:

• Corporate sustainability beyond ESG: Companies and their stakeholders need to understand and evaluate how they are positioned to navigate the energy transition – both the risks and opportunities.
  Why is ESG only tangential to answer these questions? What are the issues of material substance?
• Benchmarking the leading companies: We provide a more nuanced assessment of corporate strategic positioning in the face of uncertainty and risk through our Corporate Resilience & Sustainability framework (CoRSI). In contrast with ESG rankings, it is more relevant to how companies manage their business strategically and for benchmarking.
  How do leading Canadian oil companies compare to their international peers in CoRSI? What are their defining relative strengths and weaknesses?
• The decarbonization path: The Pathways Alliance is one of the most ambitious industry responses globally to the decarbonization challenge.
  What are the key commercial and policy drivers necessary for FID in 2025? What are the major challenges and milestones?
• Industry transformation: Successful implementation of Pathways would transform the Canadian oil industry.
  How would it shift the relative strategic positioning of the Canadian players? And who would be most impacted?
