Dix des plus importants investisseurs et gestionnaires de caisses de retraite du Canada, représentant plus de 2 250 milliards de {dollars} d’actifs sous gestion, affirment aujourd’hui leur soutien aux deux Normes canadiennes d’data sur la durabilité (NCID) du Conseil canadien des normes d’data sur la durabilité (CCNID), soit les Obligations générales en matière d’informations financières liées à la durabilité (NCID 1) et les Informations à fournir en lien avec les changements climatiques (NCID 2), conjointement désignées comme les Normes du CCNID.

Les Normes du CCNID établissent un cadre robuste pour le marché canadien, tout en tenant compte de ses particularités. Leur harmonisation avec le cadre de référence mondial est importante pour favoriser la compétitivité des sociétés canadiennes dans les marchés des capitaux internationaux, ainsi que pour permettre aux administrateurs canadiens de s’acquitter de leurs responsabilités envers les sociétés qu’ils et elles supervisent. Nous croyons également que cela réduira le fardeau de la divulgation pour les entités canadiennes qui exercent leurs activités ou réunissent des capitaux dans plusieurs territoires.

Pour les grands investisseurs institutionnels, l’accès à des informations complètes et comparables en matière de durabilité constitue un élément clé dans la prise de décisions d’investissement éclairées. Les Normes du CCNID abordent à la fois les informations générales liées à la durabilité et les exigences spécifiques en lien avec le climat, fournissant ainsi un cadre pour accéder à ces informations essentielles.

Tout en reconnaissant la nécessité d’y apporter des modifications pour tenir compte des spécificités du contexte canadien, nous encourageons les émetteurs canadiens à ne pas retarder la mesure et la divulgation d’informations importantes liées à la durabilité, particulièrement lorsque « des informations raisonnables et justifiables sont disponibles pour l’entité à la date de la reddition de comptes, sans coût ou effort excessif ». Pour prendre des décisions efficaces en matière d’allocation de capitaux, les investisseurs dépendent de la divulgation d’informations standardisées couvrant l’ensemble des risques et opportunités matériels liés à la durabilité.

Dans le cadre de nos mandats, nos objectifs sont de générer des rendements à lengthy terme ajustés au risque, qui contribuent à la sécurité des retraites et des prestations de tens of millions de Canadiens et Canadiennes. Nous croyons que ces normes renforceront l’infrastructure de la divulgation d’informations sur la durabilité de notre marché et amélioreront la qualité de celles disponibles pour les investisseurs, les events prenantes et les régulateurs. Aussi, nous appelons les dirigeants de sociétés à adopter les NCID 1 et 2 pour assurer la transparence et la comparabilité nécessaires à la prise de décisions d’investissement qui contribueront à un avenir plus prospère pour nos shoppers et bénéficiaires.
