Lafarge Canada Receives 2021 Employee Engagement Award
The City of Edmonton's Corporate Climate Leaders Program is "a program to help corporations take action on climate change through active greenhouse gas (GHG) management across their operations."
Members have made a commitment to take action on climate change through active greenhouse gas (GHG) management across their operations. In addition to supporting members in the implementation of their GHG management practices, the City of Edmonton is working with Green Economy Canada to help build capacity for lasting change within member organizations.
The program will facilitate members sharing best practices and lessons learned, exploring emerging business opportunities related to the low carbon economy, mentoring newcomers and celebrating success.
Recently, the City has recognized participants for their leadership, including a corporate climate leader that has increased sustainability awareness and action among its employees. This year, we're proud to announce that Lafarge Canada is the recipient of the 2021 Employee Engagement Award!
