Achieving the Triple Bottom Line (Finance & Investment)
The business community’s interest in ESG factors – environmental impact, social impact and governance impact – at all levels of business decisions and policymaking is greater than ever before. Businesses are working hard to adjust to these realities and lay the foundations for a sustainable, socially responsible economy where the private sector and its partners drive widely shared growth and prosperity, protect the environment and improve the quality of life for everyone.
A key part of this emphasis on ESG factors is building climate resiliency across all sectors in our economy. This series will bring together panellists from the Greater Vancouver business community that serve to exemplify climate resiliency in action, including the primacy of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, technological transformation in our economy, sustainable financial investments and advancing circular economy models.

Session 1
Achieving the Triple Bottom Line (Finance & Investment)
Climate change and government policy responses are driving the imperative for decarbonization through business innovations, technologies, and partnerships. Amidst the cascading effects of supply-chain challenges and myriad COVID-19 implications, how do we keep innovating and growing the bottom line, while also moving the needle on climate-change and growing ESG expectations (UNDRIP, gender equity, and diversity/inclusion)? Governments are investing and promoting partnerships, but how to make sense of and capitalize on the expectations and opportunities that are emerging to achieve the “triple bottom line”?
