Canada’s Greenest Employers

The construction of a 10,000 square foot green roof, introducing work-at-home policies and hiring the first Chief Environment Officer in a Canadian bank: these are a few of the innovations that Canada’s Greenest Employers have embraced.

Now in its sixth year, Canada’s Greenest Employers list, created by the editors of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, recognizes Canadian firms that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness. This year’s winners were announced on April 20.

Each employer is evaluated by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers in terms of: (1) the unique environmental initiatives and programs they have developed; (2) the extent to which they have been successful in reducing the organization’s own environmental footprint; (3) the degree to which their employees are involved in these programs and whether they contribute any unique skills; and (4) the extent to which these initiatives have become linked to the employer’s public identity and whether they attract new people to the organization.
