TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and
engineering, has been named one of Corporate Knights’ 2023 Global
100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. Corporate Knights
ranked Stantec number seven globally, and number one in the firm’s
industry peer group, placing the company among the top one percent
in the world on sustainability performance.
Stantec has also been awarded an A- rating within
the world-recognized climate change index established by CDP
(formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) for the fifth year in a
row. An A- rating recognizes a company’s climate leadership and
action.
“It is very gratifying that our sustainability
efforts have been recognized by Corporate Knights and CDP once
again,” said Gord Johnston, Stantec president and chief executive
officer. “We are very proud of the contribution we are making
toward the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals and are committed to our continued focus on
climate and sustainability leadership for our organization, and our
clients and communities.”
Corporate Knights’ ranking of the world’s 100 most
sustainable corporations is based on a rigorous assessment of
nearly 7,000 public companies with revenue over US$1 billion. Since
2005, the Global 100 has been one of the world’s most valued and
transparent rules-based sustainability ratings that emphasizes the
impact of a company’s core products and services. In June 2022,
Corporate Knights selected Stantec as one of Canada’s Best 50
Corporate Citizens for the 13th time.
CDP, a non-profit awarding body, runs a global
disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and
regions to manage their environmental impacts. For 2022, Stantec
repeated the technical classification of A-, placing the firm in
the “Leadership” category for contributing to a sustainable future,
among almost 19,000 reporting companies.
In 2022, Stantec was named a partner in the United
Nations’ Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, a global compact signed
by 70-plus companies that aims to prevent, halt, and reverse the
degradation of ecosystems around the world. The firm announced an
integrated climate action leadership team that includes Climate
Solutions leaders, a climate science director, and a sustainable
development goals impact leader. Stantec also remains top of class
in the engineering and design space across other sustainability
ranking systems, including Sustainalytics, MSCI, and ISS ESG.

initiatives, projects, and thought leadership can be found on the
