Corporate Responsibility

As an engineering firm, we have a great responsibility – and opportunity – to operate sustainably and to deliver
climate-ready solutions that have a significant positive impact on our communities and the planet. 

Sustainability & ESG

Our commitment to environmental and social sustainability is not new. In keeping with our continuous improvement philosophy, we have adopted a robust ESG strategy that focuses on our people, clients and communities and formalizes our climate commitments and the ways we measure performance. Our strategy advances the high standard for corporate governance set by our founders, and measures progress using industry-leading third-party reporting frameworks, including SBTi, GRI, FIDIC’s Climate Charter and the United Nations Sustainable Development Guidelines.

Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation

Morrison Hershfield acknowledges the urgent need to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples. Over the years, we have established  productive working relationships with Indigenous communities, clients and partners across Canada. Sincere, active engagement results in more informed decision making and more sustainable solutions that help protect the unique culture of each community while improving quality of life and supporting economic prosperity.
