Time Magazine has named Stantec as one of the world’s most sustainable companies. The Edmonton-based company ranked 44 on the list of 500 companies, which was decided by Time Magazine in partnership with a data firm after looking at each company’s public commitment and progress toward sustainability goals in 2023. Stantec was founded by Dr. Don Stanley in Edmonton in 1954 and has expanded globally with offices on six continents. Its headquarters remains in downtown Edmonton and the company was part of major projects in the city including the southeast leg of Anthony Henday Drive, Stantec Tower, the Keystone pipeline, and a Panama Canal expansion. According to the company overview on their website, Stantec’s focus is in “sustainable engineering, architecture and environmental consulting.” Two other Canadian companies made the top 100, with WSP ranked 62 and Telus at 83 on the list. The first-ranked company on Time’s list was Scheider Electric which is based in France.
