Canadian Sustainability Standards Board Fails Canadians

Canadian Sustainability Standards Board Fails Canadians Calgary - Catherine Brownlee, President of the Alberta Enterprise Group (AEG), made the following statement in response to the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) newly released sustainability and climate disclosure standards: "We are disappointed that the CSSB seems to have conducted consultations with no regard for those that took the time to submit as part of the consultation process. This is a sham. The only changes made were to extend the relief of compliance by an additional year from what was proposed in the standards.

It is shocking that none of the recommendations from the majority of stakeholder responses were included in the published standards.”
