Sustainable Electricity Leader
On January 10, 2014, AltaLink was honoured to be the first electricity transmission company and only the second electricity company in Canada to receive Electricity Canada's Sustainable Electricity LeaderTM designation.
On November 13, 2019, Electricity Canada announced that AltaLink became the first Canadian utility to be re-designated as a Sustainable Electricity LeaderTM, reflecting our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our customers, communities and employees through sustainable business practices.
The designation was developed by the Electricity Canada for utility companies across Canada and requires utilities to commit to standards for environmental and social responsibility. In addition to the standards, companies must also pass a third-party external verification to ensure adherence to the standard.
AltaLink’s designation as a Sustainable Electricity LeaderTM is a reflection of our commitment to meeting the needs of our stakeholders, communities and employees through sustainable business practices.
