Stantec Inc

Stantec's board Sustainability Committee (internally called the Sustainability and Safety Committee) is responsible for overseeing Stantec's overall climate-related framework, including risks and opportunities. The committee reviews, assesses, and makes recommendations regarding Stantec's performance on an on-going basis and provides leadership, focus, and guidance to management. The board committee regularly reaches out to subject matter experts (internal to Stantec and in the broader industry) to better understand climate risks and opportunities and routinely attends sustainability-related board education sessions. Stantec's CEO attends all board Sustainability Committee meetings and Stantec's chair of the board (an independent, non-executive director) also attends and actively participates. Working with Stantec's board Sustainability Committee, Stantec also has an Executive Sustainability Committee (internally called the Executive ESG Committee) that is accountable for sustainability performance against commitments and best practices. This committee is chaired by our CFO and members include our COO Global Operations, Chief Practice and Project Officer, Chief People and Inclusion Officer, EVP Environmental Services, SVP Corporate Sustainability, SVP Strategy and Corporate Priorities, VP Treasurer, VP Risk Management, and Regional Leader Europe. [...] Stantec's Executive ESG Committee is the approving body for all new commitments and significant external engagements. There is a page that explains the process on the company intranet (company internal website) and a form to process approvals. To keep it top-of-mind, this is regularly communicated to leadership.

Stantec's Sustainability and Safety Committee, a standing committee of the Company's Board of Directors, oversees the framework for managing ESG topics with support from the Audit and Risk and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees (see Board Sustainability Message). [...] Stantec's Executive ESG Committee is accountable for our sustainability performance and works to align sustainability and stakeholder priorities, integrate sustainability into our Strategic Plan and operations, and address sustainability-related risks and opportunities. [...] Stantec's Corporate Sustainability team enables a business culture grounded in sustainability by partnering with teams around the Company to drive sustainable actions in our operations, project delivery, and supply chain.
