Invest in a company with a solid ESG strategy
The markets are clear: the carbon footprint of a portfolio is increasingly important to investors. That’s why we have built a corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy based on transparency and strong governance, and why our approach is based on the priorities of our internal and external stakeholders, including our investors and financial analysts.
ESG: Our actions, our commitments and our approach
Our growth strategy is tied directly to our Environmental, Social and Governance actions. In fact, we have raised our CSR objectives to the same level as our financial objectives in our updated Strategic Plan for 2025.
Investing in Boralex means participating in the growth of a renewable energy company that goes far beyond its industry in terms of sustainable development.
In November 2021, Boralex announced the renewal and extension of its corporate credit facility and letter of credit facility for $525 million, for a remaining term of five years, with sustainable financing features (ESG criteria) and $150 million under an accordion clause. The terms of the facility provide for a reduction or increase in borrowing costs depending on whether we achieve our targets for avoided CO2 emissions and representation of women in management positions. Our 2025 targets in that regard are:
- 27.5% of management positions held by women
- 781,773 tons of CO2 avoided through our renewable energy production
We have also updated our sustainable procurement charter to clarify our CSR expectations for our suppliers. We have set targets for parity at all levels of the company, whether on the Board of Directors, among managers or for future hires.
Strong CSR governance
- Boralex’s CSR leaders also worked to establish strong governance that would ensure the success of our strategy in the three categories of ESG criteria. Among the solutions implemented:
- Amendment of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s mandate to include oversight of the CSR strategy progress.
- Updated senior executives’ variable compensation to add occupational health and safety performance target
- Hired a CSR Director as a CEO direct report
- Established an internal committee to oversee the implementation of the 11 recommendations of the TCFD
- Numerous third party disclosures
