Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, announces the integration of its health sciences and sustainability advisory services within the firm’s Environmental Services practice.
Together, the two advisory services address risks associated with climate, biodiversity, labor, social conditions, and governance, while also assessing human and environmental health impacts. These services leverage the insights of Stantec’s global team of engineers and scientists for designing nature-based solutions; solving environmental, health, and safety (EHS) challenges; and designing more sustainable commercial and industrial projects.
