Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Stantec has set ambitious science-based targets to decarbonise its operations. The company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 47% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. This target is aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario and has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Furthermore, Stantec aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 47% within the same timeframe (by 2030 from a 2019 base year). This Scope 3 target covers over 70% of their 2019 baseline Scope 3 emissions.

The company also has longer-term aspirations, with a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Initiatives to support these targets include the use of renewable energy, office consolidations, selecting energy-efficient buildings, improving fleet efficiency, and developing a zero-emissions vehicle transition plan.
