Are the ESG-centric efforts enacted by your brand visible and apparent to your consumers? Does your business know where to focus its efforts to have the biggest impact? “Thanks to planned environmental, social, and governance reporting, Canadians will soon have ample information to judge businesses’ efforts and will gravitate their spending toward products that fulfill their needs while making them feel good about their own sustainability actions.” Ipsos has doubled down on our work in the ESG space and how we can support brands as they look forward and consider their options to act.

Great article from my colleague Mike Colledge on the past, present and potential future of Canada's Carbon Tax. Ipsos in Canada #ESG #Foresight https://lnkd.in/gc5npdp8

The real question — the biggest question confronting Canadian political leaders today — is what governments should do to reduce the emissions that cause #climatechange. And that question won't get any smaller if the carbon tax goes away.

Ok let’s say hypothetically the opposition parties are right that the #carbontax is a useless burden on Canadians (although it’s shown globally how effective it can be to incentivize industry to rescue and innovate), then HOW to they propose to fight #climatechange? Doing nothing threatens our way of life and economy far more than a carbon tax. #turnthetide https://lnkd.in/g32c294S

First of all, the proper name is carbon pricing, as carbon tax kind of puts a negative connotation to it immediately. Like a lot of solutions, it's just a first step and requires refining, not axing. In my recent readings, I discovered that 90% of the carbon pricing on heavy industrials is going back to us as individuals. What are we doing as individuals with that money? Are we each using it for environmental solutions or transitioning away from fossil fuels, I think not. What are we able to do with that funding if it wasn't redistributed as individuals, but put together some of the great solutions out there (e.g. regenerative farming, electrification of transportation, renewable energy, etc.)?

In its report on the Transport sector, Council has recommended a full review of transport taxation be undertaken. This is to ensure that taxation for households and businesses supports emission targets and aligns with climate objectives.

Still missing BIK? Need to fix fossilised Km annual driving targets in #Budget2025 (e.g. to minimise your BIK you must increase Km). CCAC is right tho' fleets are key to EV adoption.
