Canada’s prosperity relies on global stability, the rules-based multilateral trading system, cooperation among like-minded partners and respect for sovereign states.
Canada is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, which are the source of much of the country’s prosperity. Canadian energy producers and mining companies are key enablers of the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Sound fiscal policy, investments to enhance growth and productivity, and competitive tax rates are fundamental to success in the global economy.
To succeed in today’s global economy, Canada needs a strategy that brings ideas to life and enhances the country’s competitive advantages.
An aging population and increased global competition for talent requires that Canada work harder to attract, retain and develop its human capital. Employers have a responsibility to contribute to this effort by ensuring healthy, diverse and inclusive workplaces.
Following Stantec’s announcement of its goal to be carbon neutral in 2022 and reach net zero by 2030, Gord Johnston spoke to BNN Bloomberg about the specific steps the company has been taking to achieve these goals and improve the quality of life of its employees and everyone living in its communities.
“We are making this commitment to do our part in protecting communities from the worst impacts of climate change.”
Gord Johnston, President and CEO, Stantec
