Parsons Receives Sustainability Award from Yukon Government
June 06 2024 - 6:25AM
Parsons announced today that the company had received the Yukon
Regional Business Sustainability Award for its Faro Mine
Remediation project in Yukon, Canada. This inaugural award
celebrates Yukon businesses dedicated to building a greener economy
by integrating sustainable practices into business models, while
prioritizing First Nations reconciliation and collaboration.
The Environmental Careers Organization (ECO) of Canada delivered
this groundbreaking recognition in partnership with the Yukon
Government’s Department of Economic Development. Parsons received
the award at this year’s ECO Impact Awards Ceremony recognizing the
efforts of Yukon businesses that champion sustainability.
One critical objective on the project has been the development
and successful implementation of a socio-economic strategy to bring
economic benefits to the local First Nations communities of the
Kaska Dena.
"Remediating the land, treating the water, and bringing
socio-economic benefits to the region and the indigenous
populations most impacted by the mine has been our collective focus
throughout this project,” said Samantha Kenway, vice president and
project director, Parsons. “Our diverse experience, background, and
perspective allows us to tackle significant challenges from many
angles to find sustainable solutions that are advancing economic
reconciliation and environmental remediation in the region.”
Parsons has supported the Government of Canada, Yukon
Government, First Nations, and the Town of Faro in remediating the
site since 2016. Under the contract, Parsons provides site
management services including overall occupational health and
safety; environmental and geotechnical management; project
management; construction management; and procurement services for
the work that will be completed to implement the remediation plan.
Parsons is also responsible for the care and maintenance of the
site.
“The Parsons team is diverse, dedicated, and passionate about
delivering this project and bringing lasting change to the
community,” said Mark Fialkowski, president, Infrastructure North
America for Parsons. “Parsons is committed to delivering
sustainable solutions across Canada, and particularly at Faro Mine
as part of this important environmental remediation program.”
The Yukon Sustainability Awards recognize businesses that
generate long-term value for the territory by creating a green
strategy and considering how they operate in the social, cultural,
and economic environment. Receiving this award is recognition of
Parsons’ exemplary performance in economic, indigenous,
environmental, and social dimensions of all business
operations.
