2022 ESG Engagement Examples
Canadian Energy Infrastructure January 2022
Environment
We met with one of the largest Canadian energy infrastructure companies to discuss Environmental and Social themes. The issuer operates within one of the highest emitting sectors in Canada, and the nature of its operations can have a high impact on Canadian communities, specifically Indigenous groups.
Engagement Focus
The issuer aims to reduce the carbon footprint of their operations and engage with communities in which the company has a significant physical footprint.
Outcome
RPIA recommended issuing a sustainability-linked bond (SLB) to align funding with their ESG goals. Given the company’s operating profile, we recommended an SLB structure that includes two critical metrics: • An emissions reduction KPI linked to its 2030 mid-term reduction target • A KPI linked to Indigenous community engagement, such as increasing Indigenous peoples within their workforce, manager-level, or higher employees
