MONTREAL, Sept. 22,
2021 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:SNC) is
pleased to announce the release of its 2020 Sustainability Report:
Our Vision for Engineering a Sustainable Society.
"The focus of our work during the past year was to
establish tangible commitments by publishing our Routemap to
achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2030 and by setting clear
Environmental, Social, and Governance targets,'' said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive
Officer, SNC-Lavalin. ''These commitments are a focal point for our
whole organization, helping us measure our contribution to a low
carbon future and remain accountable to stakeholders over time, and
our annual sustainability reporting will be key to transparently
measuring our progress. Alongside our own corporate targets, the
area where we can make the most meaningful impact in tackling
climate change is in working in partnership with our clients
designing and creating solutions that support them in their journey
to achieving net zero."
The comprehensive report looks at the progress and work
undertaken on a variety of sustainability issues, including net
zero carbon, and the establishment of a series of 12 enhanced
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives and targets.
The Sustainability Report complements the CDP reports, to which the
Company has submitted data since 2007.
SNC-Lavalin is committed to decarbonizing its own
corporate activities, including changing its behaviour to consume
less while still delivering as a business. This also means
supporting clients in reducing their carbon footprints by using
more passive design solutions, installing energy efficiency
measures, and transitioning to new low and zero carbon energy
supply and transportation fuels.

Engineering Net Zero reports, for Canada and the U.K., which provide a blueprint
