Our ESG Commitment

We aspire to build confidence in a safety system that improves the wellbeing of British Columbians.

Our Environmental, Social and Governance Commitment

We aspire to build confidence in a safety system that improves the wellbeing of British Columbians.

As a purpose driven organization, our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting provides an overview of our priorities to help improve the safety system by creating a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future.

Our ESG commitment include:

  1. Climate action
  2. Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility

These pillars are each viewed and assessed through lenses of Indigenous reconciliation and safety, and our ESG work is aligned with our Indigenous Reconciliation & Partnerships approach.

Using elements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework, we will regularly monitor, measure, adjust, and report on our efforts to address the most significant risks and opportunities aligned with our vision of Safe technical systems. Everywhere.

Reconciliation is consciously positioned as a lens to our ESG work out of recognition for the unique rights and standing of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Our reconciliation work is committed to honouring the priorities of Indigenous people and communities, which cannot be appropriately captured or reflected under the ESG reporting standards currently available for use. These reporting standards were not developed in partnership with Indigenous Peoples or with consideration for Indigenous issues and contexts. By embedding reconciliation as a lens, we ensure that Indigenous rights and contexts are meaningfully considered within our ESG pillars.

Climate action

Through our climate action work, we seek to proactively identify climate related safety risks to improve the wellbeing of everyone. We do this work in partnerships with Indigenous communities, utilizing both Western-Eurocentric and Indigenous knowledge systems.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility

Through innovative ideas, skills, partnerships, and tools, we are improving how people can easily, equitably, and effectively participate in the safety system. This includes identifying and removing the barriers that limit access.
