Export Development Canada
EDC is a Crown corporation dedicated to helping Canadian companies of all sizes succeed in global markets. We are Canada’s export credit agency and a member of the Government of Canada (GOC) international trade portfolio.
We equip Canadian companies with the tools they need — trade knowledge, connections and financial solutions — to grow their business with confidence and make an impact at home and abroad.
We do this in collaboration with Government of Canada partners like the Business Development Bank of Canada, the Canadian Commercial Corporation, Global Affairs Canada, the Trade Commissioner Service, Farm Credit Canada and with Financial Institutions to help Canadian businesses.
With 21 offices and 23 representations across the globe, including a regional Europe office based in London, UK, we are close to our customers and to buyers.
ESG risk assessments at EDC
We believe in the power of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) as a business accelerator.
Underlying our support is a commitment to sustainable, responsible and inclusive business, aimed at strengthening the way trade serves society and our planet. Our due diligence processes are aligned with international best practices and consider financial risks as well as risks related to business ethics, financial crime, the environment, human rights and other social factors.
Business integrity is critical to trade and to EDC’s role in helping businesses expand beyond Canada’s border.
Our Code of Conduct, policies and procedures hold us to the highest ethical standards and help us navigate the complexities of the global trade environment in a way that prevents and mitigates financial crime and corruption.
