Sustainability
At Englobe, our words become our commitments, and our commitments guide our actions.
At Englobe, sustainability is not an abstract commitment it is a practical framework that guides how we make decisions, deliver projects, and grow responsibly. As a leading Canadian engineering and environmental services firm, we are focused on translating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities into meaningful action across our operations and for our clients.
Our Sustainability Reports reflect this disciplined approach, highlighting the measurable progress we are making while sharing the real-world impacts of our work in communities across Canada. From climate adaptation and resilient infrastructure to environmental restoration and energy transition, our teams are delivering solutions that support long-term performance and sustainable growth.
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to strengthening transparency, accountability, and collaboration, ensuring that sustainability remains embedded in how we think, act, and create value, today and for the future.
At Englobe, sustainability is embedded in how we design, build, and deliver solutions. As a Canadian engineering and environmental services firm, we focus on helping clients advance projects that strengthen communities, protect the environment, and support long-term resilience.
Our approach is grounded in our core value of radical caring, which guides how we integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into our operations and services. From health and safety and ethical governance to inclusion, community engagement, and environmental stewardship, we take a structured, practical approach to sustainability across every project and location.
By combining this commitment with the technical expertise of our teams, we deliver solutions that reduce risk, improve performance, and create measurable value for our clients and communities.
Together, we are working to deliver meaningful, lasting impact—one that goes beyond intent and is reflected in the outcomes we achieve every day.
Our ESG approach is based on 5 key pillars
We take meaningful action to reduce our environmental impact, focusing on two priorities:
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions through targeted analysis and action, and
- embedding responsible practices across our operations and client projects.
Read about our environmental practices in our 2025 Sustainability Report.
As a trusted provider of technical and professional services, we help clients reduce environmental impact through sustainable collaboration. We embed responsible practices across all project activities and integrate sustainability into every Englobe service and partnership nationwide.
We also lead by example, supporting clients and collaborators in advancing their own environmental goals on jobsites and beyond.

Englobe is committed to strong ESG governance, transparency, and ethical business practices across all operations.
In 2024, we established an ESG Steering Committee to guide the integration of environmental, social, and governance principles into our strategy, oversee ESG plan implementation, and ensure alignment with our sustainability objectives. We uphold high standards of accountability and integrity in every policy, decision, and interaction—internally and with clients, communities, and partners.

Our ESG strategy is structured around five pillars, enabling us to contribute meaningfully to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create long-term value for our clients, communities, and partners.
Individually and collectively, our team members' actions to make an impactful difference inspire tremendous pride and gratitude. Through concerted actions, volunteering for meaningful causes, and fundraising, our people are the engine that drives our desire to help our communities, their residents, and their organizations.
Last year, Englobe supported organizations, events, and charities across Canada which help deliver important programming and support services that make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable people. As we strive to maximize the impact of every dollar we donate or raise, we use our caring presence to uplift, educate, and support people in need in our communities.
We know that to help a community grow and thrive, it takes a concerted effort from everyone. That’s why we also work hard to build local connections and nurture relationships that help people and communities achieve their dreams.
At Englobe, we believe that our daily actions – both large and small – have tremendous power. And we believe in celebrating those women and men who recognize this power, and dare to use it to make a lasting and positive difference. In recognition of these team members, we created the Englobe Awards.
Awarded annually, these awards showcase the best and brightest among us - colleagues who make a positive impact every single day. These inspiring individuals are moved by community and by caring, and are the true embodiment of our values.
The Inspiration-ELLE Award
Inaugurated in 2023, the Inspiration-ELLE award recognizes a high-performing professional woman who demonstrates excellence, is a game-changer on her team and in her community, and leads with courage, confidence, and integrity. Through their everyday actions, these inspiring women embody excellence in their field and have become role models for their colleagues and peers.
Dare.Care.Change Award
The Dare.Care.Change Award recognizes an Englobe team member who dares to do things differently, who radically cares for their colleagues, clients and community, and who is a champion for positive change. Award recipients receive a unique prize that aligns with our vision to build a sustainable future. Each year, we partner with an Indigenous artist to create a custom art piece to be presented to the Dare.Care.Change recipient, thus providing additional visibility for Indigenous artists.
