td securitiesThe road ahead
Mining companies are facing the call to increase transparency and reporting around ESG initiatives, activities, and results. The good news is that they already have a robust ESG culture and operating framework to draw on. However, investors increasingly want to hear about their progress, and in particular, their responses to any ESG challenges they may face.
ESG is embedded in the way we advise our clients at TD Securities and we have invested in building in-house ESG expertise to ensure we can anticipate clients' evolving needs in the sustainable finance field. During the recent Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake Gold merger, in our role as advisor to Agnico Eagle we combined the expertise of our Mining team and our Sustainable Finance & Corporate Transitions group to provide a comprehensive ESG review of the project's sustainability risks and opportunities for Agnico Eagle. Our depth of industry experience and innovation in providing ESG-related advice has allowed us to adapt to industry changes and continue to provide market-leading advisory services.
