Environment, Social & Governance

We recognize the importance of sustainability in developing and strengthening our organization. Our approach to creating long-term value through sustainability is based on prioritizing and serving our stakeholders, delivering best-in-class client solutions, supporting our communities, providing opportunities for our employees, diversifying our supplier base, and strengthening the environmental and social sustainability of our business and the businesses of our clients.

Our focus is on the future

  • Uphold high standards of governance
  • Promote sustainable business models and practices
  • Limit our environmental impact
  • Keep our employees safe and healthy

Environmental

Reducing our impact on the natural world

Our engagement with environmental initiatives extends not only to the immediate impact of our organization, but also to enabling our clients to meet their environmental performance objectives. Working collaboratively with clients and suppliers, we strive to be best in class at reducing waste; managing use of water, energy and raw materials; and protecting biodiversity wherever we operate.

Dexterra Group’s approach to environmental management is reflected in our integrated management system and meets the stringent legislative requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard.

Social

Supporting the communities in which we live and work

Dexterra Group plays a vital role in helping communities and economies thrive, and we are committed to contributing positively to the places in which we live and work. Our focus areas for community engagement, which serve as the foundation for our outreach and support programs, include mental health and safety, protecting the environment, supporting Indigenous and Native American communities, supporting military families, supporting at-risk children and youth and supporting new citizens.

In alignment with our values, building transparent, lasting and mutually beneficial relationships is important to the success of our business. From an emphasis on local hiring to participation in business associations to charitable support, we understand that our activities and engagement can lead to outcomes that both benefit the business and strengthen communities.

Governance

Building a stronger business

Dexterra Group has corporate governance practices in place that comply with all applicable rules and policies and the practices set out therein. Our Board of Directors is responsible for the stewardship of the corporation as outlined in the board mandate. This includes responsibility for establishing the overall approach to ESG.

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee and an Enterprise Risk Management Committee, each of which has a written charter outlining its purpose, structure, authority and responsibilities. The Board has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the company and has established a Whistleblower Policy and procedure. The Board’s oversight of our business activities ensures not just legal and regulatory compliance, but also responsible, sustainable and ethical decision making.

The strength of our business is our people; their engagement, initiative and integrity are crucial to our success. Through good governance, effective management processes and our values-based culture, we continue to build a high-performance organization.
