BOC “The Bank of Canada deployed QE to fight the
COVID-19 recession, and so far, as acquired more
than $330 billion of Government of Canada debt
since the end of March 2020. Central bankers
dislike becoming active players in private markets,
but without their intervention, the cost of
borrowing money to invest probably would drift
higher, slowing the recovery.” -

14. ESG REPORTING
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 14
Blog - Materiality Question Dogs SEC’s ESG Disclosure Project -
“When it comes to disclosure, investors have told us what they want,” Gensler tweeted in early August. “It’s now time for the
commission to take the baton.”
However, it would be practically impossible for the SEC to require all the above-listed information in one expansive rule. In
addition, though it might please climate change activists, it would alienate issuers and bring heaps of scorn from the business
lobby. More importantly, though, it could violate a bedrock principle of SEC disclosure mandates: materiality.
Disclosures are material when they are reasonably likely to impact a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Therefore, they are the most important to investors, to use the definition of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
