TSX has proudly partnered with the Josef Schachter ‘Catch the Energy Conference’ since 2019. This year's conference, held on October 18, 2025, in Calgary, was an overwhelming success, featuring over 30 TSX and TSX Venture listed companies in the energy, cleantech, and critical materials sectors.
Since CIRI's last Backgrounder on this topic in February 2025, the pace of new developments in the area of ESG standards and regulatory disclosure has slowed.
