Stantec named one of Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens and first among industry peers by Corporate Knights
02 Juli 2021 - 02:00PM
Stantec was named by Corporate Knights as the top firm among
industry peers within its ranking of Canada’s Best 50 Corporate
Citizens of 2021. All ranking honorees were selected from a pool of
271 Canadian companies with revenues over $1 billion, each
evaluated on a set of 24 environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) indicators relative to their industry peers and using
publicly available information. The Best 50 companies ranking sets
the standard for sustainability leadership in Canada by
spotlighting honorees of varying sizes and sectors, including
publicly-traded and privately-owned companies, Crown corporations,
credit unions, and co-op organizations, among others. The full list
and methodology for the Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens
rankings can be found here. The designation arrives following the
early 2021 announcement by Corporate Knights that Stantec was
ranked the fifth most sustainable company in the world.
“We are proud to be recognized among Canada’s most prominent
corporate leaders in sustainability,” said Gord Johnston, President
and CEO. “We maintain a dedicated emphasis on sustainability
through our operations, leadership focus, and talented staff who
guide clients around the globe. To rank high in such a diverse list
of this year’s honorees – ranging in size, sector, and ownership –
is an honor and I see it as a promising indicator of a commitment
to sustainability that is rapidly spreading across Canada.”
The Corporate Knights recognitions are among a series of recent
ESG-driven accolades earned by the company from different leading
organizations. The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project)
awarded Stantec its technical classification of A-, making Stantec
the only engineering and design firm in the industry to earn an A-
rating for the last three consecutive years. Within recent months,
Forbes named Stantec as one of America's Best Employers for Women
and one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity. Additionally,
the firm was named for the second year in a row to the Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index for fostering inclusion.
In 2021, Stantec pledged to achieve a 1.5oC science-based
emissions reduction target, carbon neutrality for 2022 emissions,
and net-zero operations by 2030 across its entire global
footprint.

projects, and thought leadership can be found on the company’s
