''I want to thank the UK Government for its confidence in
SNC-Lavalin to deliver this important mandate to help tackle one of
the toughest challenges of our time,'' said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin.

SNC-Lavalin will provide the Government Property Agency with
technical delivery services, including design, identification of
decarbonisation interventions and priorities, as well as program
and supply chain management.

of the UK Government's Net Zero agenda and will see our experts
