Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Stantec provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It refers to working on the EU-funded “EU-Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Facility,” supporting European Commission climate programmes such as EuroClima+, and citing city-level building performance standards like New York City’s Local Law 97, Seattle’s Building Emissions Performance Standard, and Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance, but it does not state that it actively tried to influence these measures or confirm that these are the only policies it engaged on. The company describes indirect engagement through trade associations—highlighting leadership roles in bodies such as FIDIC, the American Institute of Architects and the Edison Electric Institute—and notes attendance at UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties, yet it does not spell out whether these forums were used for formal lobbying or name the specific government officials or agencies targeted. Stantec outlines broad aspirations, saying it seeks to “advance the energy transition” by promoting renewable energy, grid modernisation and carbon-neutral building standards, and that its advocacy will align with the Paris Agreement, but it stops short of detailing the concrete legislative changes or quantitative targets it pursues. Overall, the disclosure offers some examples of policy arenas, engagement channels and desired direction of travel, but lacks the specificity required to demonstrate strong transparency around its climate-lobbying activities. | 1 |
