From Greenwashing to Legal Risk: The Executive & HR Playbook for Bill C-59

Is Your Employer Brand a Liability? Navigating Bill C-59 with Carol Aziz and Katie Elder.
Join us for an essential briefing on Canada’s new anti-greenwashing laws and how HR leaders can protect their company’s reputation and talent pipeline.
In the race to attract purpose-driven talent, many companies have leaned heavily into sustainability. But with the passing of Bill C-59, vague “eco-friendly” claims are no longer just bad marketing, they are a legal risk.

What You’ll Learn:

- Bill C-59 Decoded: A plain-language breakdown of the new Competition Act provisions.
- The HR Trap: Identifying where recruitment ads and internal culture decks often cross the line.
- Best Practices: How Carol and Katie recommend building safe, compliant sustainability messaging.
