Sustainability

At Englobe, leaving a sustainable legacy for the next generation is at the heart of everything we do. We dare to envision a better future for our communities and our planet. 

To transform this vision into reality, we put our diverse skills and expertise to work in order to help our communities achieve their development and growth objectives. We truly believe that by making Canadian communities – both large and small - stronger and more resilient, we can have a lasting, positive impact on the future. 

We know that with every action we take, we can make an impactful difference both individually and collectively. This foundational belief is at the heart of our ESG approach, and a driving force in our everyday actions.

Our focus has always been on sustainability. This is the strong foundation we need to ensure every project we undertake contributes positively to our communities and the environment. 

To truly maximize our impact, we understand that we need a broader, more structured approach. That's why we grounded our approach in one of our most cherished core values: radical caring. 

Viewed through this lens, our wide-ranging efforts span every aspect of our operations – from the relentless application of health and safety principles to a rigorous Code of Conduct that governs every interaction. From our continuing enhancement of a diverse, inclusive work environment to the many selfless actions of our team members from coast to coast, we’re amplifying our caring presence in the communities we serve to help them grow and thrive. 

By combining these efforts with the technical expertise and ingenuity of our people, we’re aiming to create the kind of impactful presence that our communities, our clients, and our planet demand to face the future with optimism. 

Together, as a team, we’re striving to make a real difference – one that tells the compelling story behind the numbers.

Englobe is a proud member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. It encourages worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to take strategic actions that advance broader societal goals. Since its inception in 2000, the UNGC has grown to include over 20,000 businesses from 167 countries, making it a significant force for promoting sustainable business practices globally. 

This affiliation is extremely important to Englobe, and are proud to be one of the Canadian members of this important global movement. This membership guides our embrace of the principles of responsible sustainability across all projects and in every aspect of our business. Consequently, we have structured our ESG approach along five pillars, which support us in contributing meaningfully to achieving several of the UNGC's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Individually and collectively, our team members' actions to make an impactful difference inspire tremendous pride and gratitude. Through concerted actions, volunteering for meaningful causes, and fundraising, our people are the engine that drives our desire to help our communities, their residents, and their organizations.   

Last year, Englobe supported organizations, events, and charities across Canada which help deliver important programming and support services that make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable people. As we strive to maximize the impact of every dollar we donate or raise, we use our caring presence to uplift, educate, and support people in need in our communities.  

We know that to help a community grow and thrive, it takes a concerted effort from everyone. That’s why we also work hard to build local connections and nurture relationships that help people and communities achieve their dreams.

At Englobe, we believe that our daily actions – both large and small – have tremendous power. And we believe in celebrating those women and men who recognize this power, and dare to use it to make a lasting and positive difference. In recognition of these team members, we created the Englobe Awards. 

Awarded annually, these awards showcase the best and brightest among us - colleagues who make a positive impact every single day. These inspiring individuals are moved by community and by caring, and are the true embodiment of our values.

The Inspiration-ELLE Award

Inaugurated in 2023, the Inspiration-ELLE award recognizes a high-performing professional woman who demonstrates excellence, is a game-changer on her team and in her community, and leads with courage, confidence, and integrity. Through their everyday actions, these inspiring women embody excellence in their field and have become role models for their colleagues and peers.

Dare.Care.Change Award 

The Dare.Care.Change Award recognizes an Englobe team member who dares to do things differently, who radically cares for their colleagues, clients and community, and who is a champion for positive change. Award recipients receive a unique prize that aligns with our vision to build a sustainable future. Each year, we partner with an Indigenous artist to create a custom art piece to be presented to the Dare.Care.Change recipient, thus providing additional visibility for Indigenous artists.
