Aecon adheres to rigorous standards of governance, ethics, compliance and risk management.

We frequently update our policies and protocols to ensure we’re keeping pace with leading practices in areas such as diversity and anti-corruption. We also work closely with our teams and suppliers to ensure that everyone associated with Aecon is prepared to achieve high levels of both performance and accountability.

Aecon's sustainability program has strong support across our organizations — from our Board, executive team and employees on job sites across Canada, and beyond. Our objectives are articulated in an overarching Sustainability Policy and our sustainability program, like all our activities, is grounded in Aecon's Core Values.  Aecon’s Code of Conduct employee training is completed by all of its employees.
