Where We Stand on ESG
A 2025 Baseline for Saskatchewan Business
Our 2025 ESG Survey offers a snapshot of where Saskatchewan’s business community stands on sustainability. While 179 local business leaders expressed strong interest in ESG, the findings reveal a clear gap between awareness and action—underscoring the urgent need for practical tools, support, and accessible guidance.
With strong interest and low current adoption, Saskatchewan’s SME sector is well-positioned for rapid ESG acceleration, provided that businesses receive the right support, frameworks, and funding access.
