Gold-standard Benchmark for Sustainable Business Workshop
Imagine if…we were able to co-create with the scientific and business communities a set of transparent ESG criteria, indicators and benchmarks that defined a truly sustainable business; one that creates positive social, ecological and financial value. Furthermore, imagine if these criteria were used by raters and rankers to evaluate and share ESG performance so that investors could have a clear idea about who the best performing businesses were, and therefore, were better informed about where to place their capital. What could that mean? We think it could mean a lot.
This was the context for the “Towards a Gold-standard Benchmark for Sustainable Business ” workshop on September 11th. The workshop included representatives of the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, Corporate Knights, SustainAbility, Sustainalytics, B Lab, the UN Global Compact, CBSR, The Natural Step Canada, GlobeScan, KPMG, The Sustainability Advantage, Edward James Consulting, amongst others.
