Introducing the B.C. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Dashboard, a new tool designed to help British Columbia (B.C.) businesses, like yours, manage risks and opportunities through benchmarking ESG performance against industry peers.

At its core, ESG is a framework that enables your company to evaluate sustainability efforts across key metrics, including carbon emissions, energy management, diversity, and more. As ESG becomes an increasing priority for businesses of all sizes, having access to a user-friendly dashboard with localized data can support in informing your organization’s decision making, enhancing transparency and ensuring long-term success in today’s dynamic economy. One of the most significant challenges your business may face is accessing regionally specific data, and the ESG Dashboard seeks to address that gap. 

By leveraging the ESG Dashboard’s benchmarking capabilities, your business can gain valuable insights into how your peers are managing ESG risks. This empowers you to develop proactive strategies to anticipate and mitigate potential risks before they arise.

The ESG Dashboard is free to access and draws on publicly available data from BC Stats and Statistics Canada. It covers a wide range of provincial-level metrics across the environmental, social and governance pillars, from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the percentage of employees with union coverage. The dashboard also includes regional data from various industries, such as resource sectors, manufacturing and retail – sectors integral to B.C.’s vibrant economy.
