Through donations, sponsorships, and volunteering, we connect with our communities and help strengthen them in meaningful ways.
We also put our focus on equity and diversity partnerships. By 2030, we aim to invest a further £24 million into community organisations around the globe, taking our total to £47 million since starting this initiative in 2007.
During a worldwide week of community service across the Company, SITC events highlight the local initiatives we are passionate about and the causes we support.
We partner with Engineering UK each year to support the Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Competition. We are proud sponsors and judges of the Stantec Developing Future Communities Award, which allows pupils attending to enter a design that uses science and engineering to help make communities’ lives better.
The STEM Outreach programme team at Stantec work hard to make a difference inspiring young people to view STEM careers, including with Stantec, as a viable career option and spend time engaging with the education system through schools and colleges to support students through the UK&I. We currently have 29 STEM Leads working over the Stantec UK offices with additional support from their teams of volunteers. The work those teams do with school engagement sets the groundwork for many young people to begin their journey to become the next generation of engineers.
Through their journeys and positive experiences our STEM team have engaged with and influenced students of all ages and abilities and the team is growing larger each year. We are delighted to have built relationships with around 170 educational settings just in the last 12 months engaging over 20,000 students at a variety of events including, delivery of careers advice and mock interviews, competitions, STEM clubs, climate education, special design projects and science fairs.
