About Us

Sustainability is no longer optional in Canada.

The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) has issued CSDS 1 and CSDS 2. OSFI has aligned B-15 with those standards. The Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act creates binding federal obligations. And Indigenous reconciliation is now embedded in Canadian sustainability standard-setting.

Unioncrest Inc. helps Canadian leadership teams respond with clarity and confidence. We translate this regulatory complexity into strategy, governance, and execution that fit how your business actually runs.

We exist to make sustainability workable — clear priorities, strong governance, practical roadmaps, and measurable progress that stands up to scrutiny from regulators, auditors, and investors.

Our Canadian practice brings global sustainability expertise with deep Canadian regulatory fluency. We track CSSB developments, OSFI guidance, CSA rulemaking, and provincial dynamics so you do not have to.

Our Services

End-to-end sustainability, built for execution.

We provide sustainability consulting from strategy design through implementation, reporting, and assurance — grounded in international standards and shaped by the Canadian regulatory and market context.

01
Sustainability Strategy & Governance
Sustainability without governance is just aspiration. We help organizations define what sustainability means for their business and build structures to make it stick.
  • ESG strategy development and double materiality assessments aligned with CSSB requirements
  • Governance frameworks and board-level oversight design for OSFI B-15 and CSSB standards
  • Sustainability-linked KPIs and performance integration
  • Canadian regulatory landscape analysis — CSSB, CSA, OSFI, and provincial dynamics
  • Indigenous reconciliation frameworks integrated into sustainability governance
02
ESG Reporting, Disclosure & Assurance
Reporting is where credibility is tested. We help organizations build disclosure processes that are consistent, decision-useful, and ready for external scrutiny.
  • CSSB CSDS 1 / CSDS 2 aligned reporting preparation
  • OSFI B-15 Pillar 3 climate disclosure support for financial institutions
  • CSA readiness for when mandatory climate disclosure resumes
  • Reporting gap assessments and standards adoption roadmaps
  • Assurance readiness and third-party verification support

03
Climate Risk & Transition Planning
Climate is a financial risk, a regulatory obligation, and increasingly a condition of market access. We build strategies that satisfy regulators, lenders, and investors.
  • GHG accounting — Scopes 1, 2, and 3 with CSSB transition relief optimization
  • Climate risk and scenario analysis aligned with OSFI B-15 and CSDS 2
  • Science-aligned decarbonization pathways tied to capital allocation
  • Net-zero roadmaps that satisfy the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act
  • Canadian carbon pricing compliance — federal backstop and provincial systems
04
Environmental & Social Impact
Organizations face growing expectations around their broader environmental footprint and social license to operate. We deliver technically robust, stakeholder-credible assessments.
  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessments aligned with Canadian federal and provincial law
  • Biodiversity risk and nature-based solutions aligned with Canada’s 30×30 targets
  • Human rights due diligence across operations and supply chains
  • Canadian Supply Chains Act (modern slavery) compliance preparation
  • Indigenous rights and Traditional Knowledge integration into project planning and disclosure
05
ESG Due Diligence & Supply Chain Risk
ESG risk does not stop at your organization’s boundary. We provide decision-useful insight that protects value and surfaces opportunity across portfolios and value chains.
  • ESG due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and investments in Canadian regulatory context
  • Supply chain and vendor ESG risk assessments
  • CBAM readiness for Canadian exporters to the EU
  • Pre-transaction sustainability risk and liability screening
  • Third-party risk mapping and monitoring frameworks

Good sustainability performance depends on good data. We help clients build the systems, dashboards, and capabilities to embed sustainability across their business.
  • ESG data management and digital reporting solutions for CSDS 1 / CSDS 2
  • SEDAR+ and CSA digital reporting readiness
  • Performance dashboards and progress tracking for board and regulator reporting
  • Sustainability training and executive workshops — CSSB, OSFI B-15, and Canadian climate policy

Canada landscape

Canada’s sustainability
regulatory shift is now.

Canada’s sustainability regulatory environment is shifting rapidly. Four forces are reshaping what Canadian companies must do — and what investors, lenders, and supply chain partners expect.

Unioncrest Inc. brings the technical depth to navigate these obligations and the implementation experience to turn compliance into competitive advantage.

We work with organizations across financial services, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing to embed sustainability into core decision-making and long-term competitiveness.

Start the Conversation
CSSB Standards (CSDS 1 & CSDS 2)
The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board has issued Canada’s inaugural sustainability disclosure standards. OSFI has aligned B-15 with CSSB — making these de facto mandatory for banks, insurers, and pension funds. The CSA will likely mandate disclosure in the coming years.
OSFI B-15 for Financial Institutions
Federally regulated financial institutions face binding climate risk management and disclosure requirements under OSFI’s updated Guideline B-15 — including board-level governance, scenario analysis, and Pillar 3 public disclosures.
Federal Climate Obligations
The Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act creates binding federal net-zero targets. Crown corporations must comply; private sector peers face investor and lender pressure to demonstrate credible transition plans tied to capital allocation.
Indigenous Reconciliation
The CSSB has made reconciliation with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples a foundational pillar of Canadian sustainability standard-setting. For organizations in energy, mining, infrastructure, and forestry, Indigenous rights integration is central to sustainability strategy.
Provincial Complexity
From Alberta’s TIER system to Quebec’s carbon market and bilingual requirements to Ontario’s clean energy procurement — provincial regulation shapes Canadian sustainability strategy. We navigate federal-provincial complexity so you do not have to.
