Our theme this year is The Road to Resiliency. In our fourth report we share highlights from our sustainability journey in 2015. Our direction is set by the four pillars of sustainability; social, environmental, economic and governance. As we build on our sustainable business practices we become more resilient as a company allowing us to better serve our clients, our employees and the communities we operate in.
“The resource sectors we serve have been hit hard the last few years. The downturn in commodity prices; the boom in infrastructure work; tailings dam failures; and natural disasters like the Fort McMurray fires create challenging conditions for our clients and society in general,” said Len Murray, President and CEO. “We remain committed to making progress on our sustainability journey and at times like these we are reminded of the importance of resiliency. Our systems provide us with a solid roadmap but it’s up to each and every one of our staff to travel down the path we are forging. You will see in this year’s report that we’ve made great progress thanks to their commitment.”
