Inc. (TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce today the release of its
2019 Sustainability Report: Transforming Society for Future
Generations.

development goals.
"We are currently on a transformation journey, sustainability –
in both our business and the projects we bring to life – must be at
the centre of our culture and transformation. Our transformation
started with our new strategic direction a short year ago and we
are seeing new opportunities as we look to the rapidly evolving
future. As designers, engineers, and project managers, we
embody our values, including innovation and collaboration, to look
ahead and assess how what we deliver as an organization will impact
the future of society," said Ian L.
Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer, SNC-Lavalin

improving people's daily lives; projects related to infrastructure,
clean sources of power, smart cities, and solutions during the
ongoing pandemic such as agile, responsive healthcare facilities,"
Ian continued. "Our employees around the world contribute on a
daily basis to how the world transforms, it's because of their
efforts in designs and project management that we are able to have
a positive impact on how society transforms, one that goes beyond
individuals and beyond our organization."
SNC-Lavalin's Global Head of Sustainability, Sarah-Jane Stewart, commented, "Our Policy
Statement, in conjunction with our Sustainable Business Strategy,
demonstrates the Company's long-term commitment to sustainable
development and the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable
Development. To align with our business strategy, we have focussed

Affordable and Clean Energy; Sustainable Cities and Communities;
