Yukon Energy Achieves Sustainable Electricity Company Designation: A First for Northern Canada

 

February 16, 2017

Yukon Energy Corporation has achieved the Canadian Electricity Association’s Sustainable Electricity Company designation for its commitment to sustainable business practices. Yukon Energy is only the fifth company to earn this designation and the first in northern Canada.

“This designation is a testament to Yukon Energy’s commitment to socially responsible and environmentally sustainable business practices,” says Sergio Marchi, President and CEO of the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA). “A commitment that will ensure lasting benefits for their company, their customers, and to the communities in which they operate. I applaud Yukon Energy’s management team and staff on this outstanding achievement.”

CEA established the Sustainable Electricity Company designation for utilities across Canada. It recognizes sustainability efforts and acknowledges success against the three foundational pillars of sustainability — environmental, social and economic performance. This designation requires utilities to confirm to ISO 14001 standard on Environmental Management Systems and ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility. In addition, companies must pass an independent external verification.

“It’s an honour to receive this designation from the Canadian Electricity Association,” Yukon Energy President and CEO Andrew Hall says. “It recognizes the excellent job our employees do in delivering electricity in a sustainable and socially responsible manner.”
