Non-regulatory Reporting
Non-regulatory reporting, such as disclosures aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, plays a critical role in demonstrating transparency, leadership and accountability on global challenges.
Though voluntary, these reports help guide strategic planning and decision-making, strengthen stakeholder trust and reflect our commitment to being a responsible and forward-thinking institution.
In 2018, the Canadian Government endorsed the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures recommendations for all Canadian organizations to support Canada’s commitment to the Paris Agreement.
UBC fully supports the adoption of Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures recommendations and is committed to producing annual disclosures to advance global market transparency.
The report is prepared by the Office of the Vice-President, Finance and Operations. The UBC Okanagan Sustainability Office contributes campus-specific data for these disclosures.
The annual Sustainable Development Goals Report is produced by the UBC Sustainability Hub with Okanagan data and content from the Sustainability Office, and aims to address global challenges related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, peace and justice.
The 2020/21 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: A Snapshot of UBC Activities report highlights one project or program relating to an operational aspect of each sustainable development goal at UBC.
