Nov 11, 2018

At an award ceremony in Ottawa last week, the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA) honoured four industry leaders in sustainability and corporate responsibility.

“This year’s winners exemplify yet again the electricity sector’s longstanding commitment to advancing innovative and sustainable business practices,” said the Honourable Sergio Marchi, President and CEO of CEA.

Sustainable Electricity is a sector-wide initiative implemented jointly by CEA and its members that promotes the integration of sustainable, responsible policies in business decision-making, and continuous improvement of environmental, social, and economic performance. The initiative is built on a foundation of a thorough and rigorous process involving all electricity member companies, as well as insight and leadership from a public advisory panel.

The following recipients are being honoured with Sustainable Electricity awards, in recognition of their outstanding achievements in sustainability and corporate responsibility over the past year:

• Advancement of an Integrated Approach in Sustainability — Saint John Energy. In recognition of Saint John Energy’s undertaking and achievement of the Sustainable Electricity Company Brand Designation, the first company to earn this designation in eastern Canada.

• Commitment to Continuous Performance Improvement Through Projects, Programs and Initiatives in Sustainability — Ontario Power Generation. In recognition of OPG’s Transportation Electrification strategy that aims to leverage the company’s high non-emitting electricity generating portfolio to help decarbonize Ontario’s transportation sector.

• Leadership in External Collaboration and Partnerships in Sustainability — Toronto Hydro. In recognition of Toronto Hydro’s Metrolinx Battery Storage initiative, which will increase grid resiliency and contribute to the local community’s goal of becoming Toronto’s first “Net Zero” neighbourhood.

• Individual Leadership on Sustainability — Newfoundland Power. In recognition of Newfoundland Power’s efforts to promote sustainability both within Newfoundland Power and across the province.
