Identifying the Knowledge Gap in Sustainable Financing and Investment for Canadian Investors

Sustainable investment is an expending sector of the mainstream financial market, yet there are few studies evaluating the trends, opportunities, impacts and knowledge gaps as they relate to Canadian investors. Understanding the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues related to business operations and investment are critical to understanding trends that are driving this shift towards sustainability in financial markets. The proposed study will identify knowledge gaps in sustainable investment within a Canadian context, and strategies for addressing said gaps. The intent is to help support a better understanding of the future opportunities for the partner organization and to identify any potential trade-offs that may be required by those interested in related investment opportunities.
