Asking Better Questions on Nature: A guide for Canadian Board Directors
This guide is structured around 12 questions that boards may wish to consider during meetings and ask organization executives, along with the type of information they should expect in response. It is designed to help board members surface the decision-useful information they need to ensure that nature-related issues are appropriately incorporated into the organization’s governance, strategy, risk management and capital allocation. Doing so may assist Canadian directors in demonstrating compliance with their legal duties concerning nature-related risks. Dotted throughout this guide are case studies demonstrating how nature-related issues are being managed by two Canadian organizations.
