Equator Principles 4 (EP4), an environmental and social risk management framework adopted by financial institutions, comes into effect October 1. <\/p>\n

Norton Rose Fulbright, sole legal counsel to the Equator Principles Association for the review of the new version, is offering a webinar to provide insight on ESG and the new EP4 requirements in the areas of human rights, climate change and biodiversity and the practical impacts. <\/p>\n

The sustainability implications for Canadian businesses, highlighted in EP4 and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, are becoming increasingly important for companies to address, especially in the mining sector. <\/p>\n

Senior executives of major mining, and oil and gas firms are increasingly concerned about ESG, climate, geopolitical, and social licence to operate (SOL) pressures. <\/p>\n
