Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) announced today that it has been recognized as one of the top eco-friendly companies in Canada by Hewitt Associates.
Amongst the participants in the Best Employers 2010 studies, 30 organizations were recognized for leading the way in creating a culture of environmentally responsible business. The Green 30 list is determined by the results from Hewitt Associate's 50 Best Employers survey. Employees identified the Green 30 organizations based on the companies' eco-friendly environmental initiatives.
Aecon's programs that contribute to long-term social, and environmental impacts in decision making, as well as the development of services that benefit the environment, are what gained them recognition on The Green 30 list this year.
"We are very pleased to be recognized by our employees as being an environmentally sensitive company," said Scott Balfour, President, Aecon Group Inc. "Environmental initiatives are increasingly becoming a staple in our corporate culture, and we share pride in the sustainability achievements of our clients through the projects we complete," Mr. Balfour said. "It is recognition like this that reminds us that we are in line with our vision of building things that matter."
