Session I: Canada’s future in the global energy mix
Leadership in the energy sector is vital in the development of the Canadian energy economy. Whether it’s building out increasingly complex oil sands projects, the development and deployment of natural gas, alternative fuels or other technological innovations such as carbon capture and storage, energy corporations will be central to achieving real change. As the world strives to reduce in greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy security, the panel will discuss the future global energy mix and Canada’s place in it.

Session II: The emerging regulatory environment and the impact on the energy sector
Climate change is a major issue for energy companies. Carbon pricing and carbon tariffs have become part of the calculus in determining investment decisions. How do government initiatives to reduce carbon emissions fare when matched against regional development and energy security concerns? Where are infrastructure dollars headed in efforts to reduce carbon emissions and minimize environmental impact?

Session III: The impact of shareholder activism on corporate decision-making
Increasing investor assaults on companies environmental performance, executive compensation, reporting of reserves and movements to increase value through acquisitions, shareholders are increasingly involved in decisions that are traditionally the domain of the executive. Speakers will examine the trends in corporate governance that effective managers must be aware of.
