Millani’s 8th Annual ESG Disclosure Study

An analysis was conducted of the most recent ESG disclosures of the 226 constituents of the S&P/TSX Composite Index.

Millani believe this trend is driven by increasingly sophisticated disclosure regulations and changing market expectations regarding access to capital.
