Strategic plans set out the strategic priorities that will guide the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) in achieving its public interest mandate over a multi-year period. The CSSB decides on strategic priorities after extensive consultation.
Implementation plans to execute these strategies are described in the CSSB’s annual plans.
Proposed 2025-2028 Strategic Plan Consultation
The CSSB welcomed public feedback on its inaugural Strategic Plan for 2025-2028, outlining priorities for advancing sustainability disclosure standards in Canada. The comment period closed April 7, 2025.
Thank you to all those who participated in our comment period. Your feedback will shape the final strategies, ensuring the Board meets the diverse needs of interested and affected parties, and supports high-quality, decision-useful sustainability disclosure standards. The final plan will be published later this year.
The priorities in the proposed plan include establishing Canadian reference standards aligned with global frameworks, advancing the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples' rights in sustainability disclosure standard-setting, and contributing to international standards development.
The plan reflects a commitment to inclusivity, collaboration, and addressing Canada's unique sustainability disclosure challenges while fostering global alignment.
