ESG: Social

A business’s social responsibility is more than meeting quotas for diversity. To build a sustainable future, we must build stronger societies. We are here to advise your business on how to best interact with the workforce, and the communities around it, to make a difference. As companies continue determining how best to address their ESG-related risks, they are also facing increased public pressure to do so in a meaningful way.

The social component of ESG has significant impact on how organizations engage with their stakeholders, customers and workforce. McInnes Cooper has a proven track record of guiding clients through:

  • Crisis management like public health emergencies, strikes/labour disputes or data breaches
  • Workplace health and safety
  • Human rights and equality matters like sexual misconduct, bullying and harassment, diversity and inclusion, disability and accommodation
  • Labour and employment issues such as fair wages, compliance with minimum standards, employee relations and well-being, policy development and review.
  • Privacy, data protection and cybersecurity
  • Whistleblower and codes of conduct
  • Immigration, including movement under international treaties, procurement of Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) from Service Canada, Issuance and Renewal of Temporary Work Permits, Applications for Permanent Residency, Application for Canadian Citizenship and Criminal Inadmissibility
  • Professional regulation/misconduct
  • Consumer protection
  • Product safety/liability
  • Indigenous Self-government and relations like forming economic partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses, advising Band Councils
