Whether dealing with a global health crisis, a national response to climate change, or Canada’s exporting challenges, EDC demonstrated its value to Canadian business and the economy.
While supporting companies affected by the pandemic, we also looked to getting them back on track to achieving their growth objectives.
By prioritizing the sectors and markets that offer the best potential for long-term, sustainable growth, we help build a more resilient, sustainable and competitive Canadian economy.
Doing what’s right, and taking action to empower people and protect the planet, is at the heart of our business approach.
EDC is one of those companies that stepped up, again this past year, to find new ways to respond to the constantly shifting circumstances of the crisis.
We are adapting our business at this critical juncture, with the goal of maximizing our impact for Canadian exporters and the economy.
Adding the Chief Corporate Sustainability Officer role to my portfolio signalled our intent to accelerate the embedding of ESG values, principles and processes across our organization and in our support of Canadian companies.
