Climate Change

Our pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2022 and operational net-zero by 2030 reflects our commitment to a robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy.

We deliver innovative ways to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance the resiliency of the communities and clients we serve. And we’re committed to conducting our business in a similar way. That is why we are pledging to achieve carbon neutrality by 2022 and operational net-zero by 2030.

Delivering Social Value

Communities are at the heart of our corporate values and everything we do.

At Stantec, we invite, embrace, and celebrate differences. That means all of us—together—shape a culture of mutual support and acceptance. We are proud to be recognised as one of the world’s best workplaces.

By tapping into our 22,000 employees, we are developing innovative approaches to solve some of the world’s biggest problems. We are also committed on a global scale to give back to the communities where we live and work. 

Communities are at the heart of everything we do

By delivering societal and environmental benefits, our ambition is to shape places that are fit for the future.

Our designs and work contribute to equality in society, delivering social value by building better places and communities - improving the lives of those who live, work and play in them. Stantec works to enhance quality of life, resilience, liveability and safety.

Our UK Climate Change and Social Value Forum drives environmental and social action across the business, and tracks progress against our pledges.

We are committed to delivering benefits to our staff, and to wider communities through our programmes including our learning and development, work experience and apprenticeships, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I), Stantec in the Community, school’s engagement and STEM initiatives.
