The International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) climate and sustainability disclosure standards provide the foundation for such a global baseline. Given our central role in the Canadian capital markets and as owner and operator of TSX and TSXV, TMX Group has regularly engaged with the ISSB, the CSSB, the CSA and other market participants to ensure that these standards are applied in a way that is calibrated to Canada’s unique marketplace and recognize the importance of proportionality, materiality and global competitiveness. United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative TMX Group’s equities and derivatives exchanges (TSX, TSXV, and Montreal Exchange) are active members of the SSE Initiative, which promotes sustainable performance and transparency in capital markets. This membership allows TMX Group to report its sustainability efforts (see Appendix A) in comparison to other exchanges and provides access to global thought leadership, educational content, and knowledge-sharing opportunities. World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) - Sustainability Working Group TMX Group is a member of the World Federation of Exchanges, the global industry group for exchanges and clearing houses, which promotes an orderly, secure, fair, and transparent environment for investors and market participants. Within the WFE, TMX Group actively participates in the WFE Sustainability Working Group to define the role of exchanges as sustainable financial markets evolve. We also contribute to the WFE’s Annual Sustainability Survey, which captures global progress and challenges in exchanges’ engagement with ESG issues. In 2024, we partnered with the organization to host the WFE Global Sustainability Meeting at the TMX Market Centre on June 5, 2024. This event brought together leaders from member exchanges and sustainability experts worldwide to discuss the evolving landscape of sustainability reporting standards, the challenges they pose for corporations, and the role exchanges can play in supporting issuers. Additionally, on November 22, 2024, we joined 34 other exchanges in WFE’s Ring the Bell for Climate campaign with a dedicated market open ceremony. This ceremony convened stakeholders who are partners in advancing sustainable and transition finance in Canada. Canada Climate Week Xchange (CCWX) With the intent of accelerating Canada’s climate goal, TSX announced the establishment of Canada Climate Week Xchange on November 25, 2024. Launching in 2025, this five-year initiative will bring together diverse organizations, including publicly-listed companies, to champion Canada’s commitment to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, through events dedicated to addressing Canada’s climate-related challenges and opportunities. Collaborating with TSX on this initiative are its founding members, Canada Climate Law Initiative, CPA Canada, First Nations Financial Management Board, GLOBE, and the Responsible Investment Association. Together, the group encourages Canadian organizations and individuals to apply to have their events included in the inaugural CCWX, which will run from November 24 to 30, 2025.
