The BC Oil and Gas Commission rebrand to the BC Energy Regulator includes a significantly expanded remit, including regulatory guidance for the energy transition, support for Reconciliation, and implementation of CleanBC goals and targets. Find out how these changes impact Alberta energy producers with our review of the CSEE BC Days Conference.
Also, in this edition, The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) announced that new global sustainability and climate disclosure standards will be effective as of January 2024. The standards help organizations better communicate with investors and ensure consistent, comparable, and comprehensible information.
