Presentation: Filing the Future of ESG “The SEC has proposed new rules which aim to bring decision-useful information to investors. Modeled off the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), these proposed changes have been receiving public support from Canada. This means that companies would be required to disclose the impact of climate-related events and transition activities that have, or are likely to have, a material impact on the company. As a result, changing consumer and investor preferences, reputational risk, and a company’s value chain (both upstream and downstream) are to be included in each company’s climate-related disclosures and GHG emissions. Once disclosed, this information will have a direct impact on a company’s future financial health, including its access to financing.” Tanya Seajay, Chief Executive Officer at Orenda | a SIX company |

Discussion – Market Data in the Cloud – The Canada Edition This is a layered and nuanced discussion. A global discussion but today adding a Canadian flavour. There are a multitude of types of data that can be placed in and delivered from ‘The Cloud’. That data can in turn operate a wide spectrum of latency. Clearly it is not one size fits all. We are on a journey to the Cloud and each of us is at different stages of that journey. Not everyone can be ’innovators’ or even a ‘early adopters’ nor should everyone. Being in the ‘early majority’ might be a healthy objective. This market data discussion has both technical and administrative dimensions let’s explore both! Moderator: Bill Bierds, President & CBDO, BCC Group Panelists: Tim Anderson, Director, Global Head Tick History Data & Cloud Services, LSEG Gavin Morris, Director, TMX Datalinx Sam Speranini, Senior Business Consultant, Bank of Montreal Global Market Data Services Robert Strawbridge, VP Head of Canada, Business Development, Options Technology Matt Tait, Capital Markets, Google Cloud |
