The Canadian federal government has passed amendments to its Competition Act that include new environmental communication requirements for Canadian businesses.
This new legislation was introduced and passed without meaningful consultation. It creates significant uncertainty for businesses in communicating their environmental performance and aspirations.
While protections against false or misleading claims from businesses and organizations are important, this new federal legislation is overly broad and subjective.
The uncertainties, vague requirements and significant penalties of the new legislation unreasonably restrict businesses from sharing information on environmental matters with the public.
At Gazifère, we believe in being open and transparent with our stakeholders. Our sustainability-related goals and pathways for reducing emissions from our operations continue to evolve as available data emerges and public policy matures.
We also remain committed to accuracy and transparency—and we stand behind the information we share in our reports, communications and marketing.
Important information:
This website includes information and data related to Gazifère’s 2050 energy transformation objectives.
These objectives are based on a variety of probabilities, estimates, risks and uncertainties.
The achievement of our objectives will depend on the collective efforts and actions across a wide range of stakeholders, and the development of technologies, all of which are largely outside of our control, and there can be no assurance that they will be achieved.
Our 2050 energy transformation objectives continue to evolve and may need to be restated, modified, or recalibrated as available data improves, as standards, methodologies, metrics and measurements mature, and as legislation, regulations and policies evolve.
