Abstract
In our empirical investigation of over a hundred publicly listed Canadian companies, we assess their longitudinal advancements toward the successful reporting on climate change. Utilizing data extracted from the EIKON/Reuters database, we identify both commonalities and differences in their approaches, developmental stages, and corporate characteristics. Our findings reveal a significant variance in progress among these companies, with some demonstrating substantial advancements in their climate change reporting efforts, while others lag behind. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors influencing corporate climate reporting success in Canada, offering valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders interested in enhancing corporate transparency and accountability in addressing climate change.
