“I think ESG needs to start becoming a reflex within organizations, where every thought process is intuitive,” Mr. Penner said. Mr. Penner said he chose the University of Montreal because, after sitting down with rector Daniel Jutras, he concluded the U of M had the right ecosystem of academic talent to conduct the research and amplify its conclusions. By basing that work in, he hopes to help build bridges between the province’s business community and the rest of Canada.
“The university community is well equipped to decompartmentalize and disseminate knowledge,” Mr. Jutras said in a statement. Researchers who will be involved from the university, its HEC Montréal business school and Polytechnique Montréal engineering school “have the expertise to develop it into a far-reaching interdisciplinary project.”
