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.

Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
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.Stantec's Sustainability Report
Sustainability is built into our purpose, our promise, and our values. One example is our second consecutive A-class (2019 and 2020) rating within the world-recognized climate change index established by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project). Our annual Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) compliant sustainability report summarizes our progress against sustainability commitments, as well as our support of the United Nations Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainability is evolving rapidly, and our targets and strategies for achieving them have changed. To get there we are leveraging the power of parametric design tools and developing a deeper understanding of what makes a community more sustainable. In this issue we explore the forces driving the progression of sustainable design, strategies to achieve it, and the importance of delivering on what we promise. Learn MoreCommunity Futures

Cities stand on the front line in meeting the challenges of climate change, regenerating the biosphere and natural environment, and creating sustainable, socially inclusive development. Thinking globally and acting locally has never mattered more. Learn More
