Today, we bring you a sneak peek inside another one of our client engagements. Teck Resources is Canada’s largest diversified resource company, with major copper, steelmaking coal, zinc, and energy operations. Part of the challenge that Teck faces is understanding and responding to a wide variety of stakeholders. The company has a robust internal sustainability staff with personnel responsible for corporate sustainability strategy and communications, environment, health and safety (EHS), and community engagement. To supplement their internal team, SSC was enlisted to support these goals as an expert in sustainability rankings and socially responsible investment (SRI) strategies.
We’ve been working with Teck since 2005 on a variety of projects, including sustainability planning, reporting, and engagement. The result? Teck has been included for three straight years by the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI), which recognizes the top 10% of sustainability performers in each industry. We are proud to support Teck in its continuing journey towards sustainability!
