Embracing ESG for a more sustainable future
Understanding your Environmental impacts, Social responsibilities, and having strong corporate Governance have never been more important for businesses. The push for stronger ESG practices is intensifying, fueled by the expectations of customers, employees, investors, and regulations. Many leading companies have made sustainability a core value, boosting trust and loyalty.
Businesses are responding by implementing sustainable strategies, and tracking and reporting their Environmental, Social and Governance performance. However, it can be challenging for some organizations to act, whether it’s due to the complexity of reporting, or lack of time, finances and resources.

A Message from the Minister
Since 2017, our government has worked to make life better for people, and through the StrongerBC Economic Plan, we’re continuing to take action for you on the biggest challenges of our time through a clean and inclusive approach to growing B.C.’s economy. That’s why I’m proud to launch B.C.’s new ESG Centre of Excellence to help B.C. businesses navigate their ESG journey.
My thanks go out to the over 400 businesses, industry groups, government agencies, Indigenous organizations, academic institutions, and NGO’s that helped us gather the information we needed to help create the Centre and its resources. Working together, B.C. businesses will be able to grow while building a respected and trustworthy ESG brand that is recognized here at home and around the world.
