Stantec—a global leader in design, engineering, and environmental services―has been awarded five environmental awards focusing on the firm’s business practices and achievements. The Environmental Business Journal awarded Stantec three awards, while the Climate Change Business Journal named the firm a winner in two award categories.

The Environmental Business Journal is Environmental Business International’s premier publication, providing thoughtful insights on emerging opportunities in the environmental industry, the climate change industry, as well as the Green Economy. It defines 13 business segments including remediation, environmental consulting & engineering, water/wastewater, instrumentation, and air pollution control. The Environmental Business Journal Business Achievement Awards for Stantec are:

• Business Achievement: Mergers & Acquisitions
  Stantec’s strategic plan includes the growth of its environmental services capacity through mergers and acquisitions. In September, full-service natural and cultural resources management-consulting company Paleo Solutions Inc. of Monrovia, California, joined the firm. In October, Stantec announced the acquisition of the North America and Asia Pacific engineering and consulting groups of Cardno Limited for US$500 million. Cardno’s key strengths in ecosystem restoration, health sciences, infrastructure, water, and government services are complementary to Stantec’s offerings in these growing sectors in the US and Australia. Lastly, at year’s end, Stantec signed an agreement to acquire Cox|McLain Environmental Consulting Inc. of Austin, Texas, a full-service environmental consulting firm that provides comprehensive environmental and cultural resource compliance services.
• New Practice Areas: Debris Flow & Avalanche Prediction
  Stantec was named a New Practice winner for developing DebrisFlow Predictor. The outcomes generated by the modelling tool can help make decisions that preserve communities, infrastructure, and the environment. DebrisFlow Predictor is the latest advancement in the firm’s suite of geohazards solutions to make the world a safer place. To get ahead of the devastating effects of debris flow and avalanches, Stantec’s debris flow software uses data and controls to inform a numerical model and simulate the complex behavior and runout of debris flows.
• Diversity & Inclusion
  In alignment with the firm’s commitment to inclusion and diversity, Stantec was recognized for its efforts to create an inclusive environment that attracts and develops global talent and is a place where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. The firm was recognized by Forbes as one of the World’s Top Female-Friendly Companies in 2021, in addition to being named one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity in 2021. The company also launched the Stantec Equity & Diversity Scholarship to provide students from historically underrepresented groups with financial aid, contributing to the creation of a critical mass that will fully represent diverse communities in their industry.
