Sustainability
Shaping the future of communities
Communities are facing major challenges to their long-term sustainability. An increasingly changing climate. Pollution of the biosphere and oceans. Loss in biodiversity. At the same time, there are opportunities for positive change through new technologies, ecosystem regeneration, and holistic, unified planning by community leaders. An ecosystem infrastructure approach—integrating the natural and built environment—is key to transforming the future of our communities.

We support and measure our collective impact against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The UN’s blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, the SDGs address the global challenges of poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. Stantec is actively tracking how our work supports the intent and metrics/indicators of the SDGs.Sustainability Report

The United Nations (UN) believes it’s time to prioritize ecosystem restoration. With the world’s population growing, we have to provide more food, energy, and clean water to more people. This trend, combined with climate change and biodiversity loss, is driving the critical need for this work—which is why we’re partnering with the UN for the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). Like the UN, we believe healthy ecosystems enhance people’s livelihoods, counteract climate change, and stop the collapse of biodiversity. Read More
