A broad topic whose meaning and importance can be confusing and overwhelming, sustainability includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practices, corporate behaviours required by law, as well as national and international standards. It is about being responsible and making sure that there is a plan in place to facilitate the transition not only in a strategic but also well-managed manner. The focus will be on aligning best practices, regulatory requirements, and global sustainability goals for your activities.

Sustainability requirements are many and diverse, and vary from country to country, from province to province or state to state. Sustainability encompasses environmental stewardship and carbon footprints, building consensus and a social license to operate, policies for partnerships and preferential status for local suppliers and communities, Indigenous engagement, human capital management, corporate governance, and due diligence.
