EDMONTON, Alberta and NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, was once again recognized in the top 10 of Corporate Knights’ 2025 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World—eighth overall and first amongst industry peers. Announced today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the ranking is based on a rigorous assessment of more than 6,000 publicly traded companies with over US$1 billion in revenue.
“Our environmental, social, and governance principles support our global clients’ diverse needs as they advance their sustainability goals,” said Gord Johnston, Stantec’s president and chief executive officer. “We are proud to celebrate this recognition from Corporate Knights, highlighting the depth to which sustainability is embedded in our culture and strategy.”
This recognition is the most recent in a series of company milestones related to sustainability. In October 2024, Newsweek named Stantec to its list of Canada’s Most Responsible Companies for 2025, and in June, Stantec was named to TIME’s list of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies for 2024.
In 2024, the Company released its 17th annual Sustainability Report, announcing that $3.9 billion (61 percent) of its 2023 gross revenue was generated from work supporting core United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Stantec also announced its commitment to the MEP 2040 Challenge, an effort to fundamentally reduce total carbon emissions associated with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing building systems by 2040.
