With millions of Canadians working away from their normal workplaces the past year, many of the country’s most sustainable organizations have responded by helping employees to reduce their personal environmental footprint and make environmentally conscious decisions in their lives outside work.  The best of the initiatives were recognized as Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2021 were announced by Mediacorp Canada Inc., organizers of the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers project.

Now in its 14^th year, Canada’s Greenest Employers is a special designation that recognizes the employers that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness in their organizations. Winning employers, selected by editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, are evaluated using four main criteria: (1) the unique environmental initiatives and programs they have developed; (2) the extent to which they have been successful in reducing the organization’s own environmental footprint; (3) the degree to which their employees are involved in these programs and whether they contribute any unique skills; and (4) the extent to which these initiatives have become linked to the employer’s public identity, attracting new employees and clients to the organization.
