Sustainability
Construction Services For a Sustainable Infrastructure
As a Centuri company, WSN Construction shares the same Think Ahead approach for sustainability. Six critical factors of our business make up our Sustainability Framework. These principles guide how we treat our customers, our colleagues, and the communities where we live and work every day.
Committed to Building Better
Our ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) focus helps to tell our story of responsibility and sustainability, and the many initiatives supporting our ESG emphasis drive our continuous improvement.
Both internally and externally, we are committed to building better. This means embracing our responsibility as an employer and member of the community to provide resources that encourage our employees, our suppliers, and our communities to have better conversations, establish stronger partnerships, inspire brighter futures, and create more opportunities.
Proud to Give Back
We believe that being a responsible citizen means giving back to our communities through volunteerism and charitable giving. WSN Construction and WSN Western Construction are proud to have supported several children’s, veteran, and first responder organizations.
- The Hospital Activity Book for Children
- The Children’s Christmas Carol Book
- The Children’s Easter Story Book
- BC/Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion
- National Wall of Remembrance Association
- Hospital Veterans Journal
- Volunteer Fire Service Backdraft Magazine
- APEGBC Golf Tournament (supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation)
- AOK’s Extreme Home Repair
- Canadian Fallen FireFighters Association
Commitment to Environmental Protection
WSN Construction environmental protection policies are a key component for all the work we do. We take care to identify and mitigate any potential environmental hazards at our facilities and project sites, and we always adhere to the highest standards for environmental safety.
As a forward-looking, progressive organization, we are committed to a proactive approach towards environmental protection and stewardship. We recognize that profit and the environment do not always demand the same action, and we strive to harmonize economic and ecological priorities. In our efforts to continually improve our environmental performance, we go beyond the legal requirements. This practice has become a tenant with our employees and a practice in everyday operations.
WSN Construction is committed to reducing negative impacts on the environment, and when possible, we assist our customers by helping them select renewable resources and environmentally-friendly power options and construction methodology.
Doing the Right Thing
Insistence on ethical behavior throughout all levels of our company is essential to creating a culture where all employees feel safe, valued, and free to do their best work.
Empowered for Success
WSN Construction strives to create workplaces where people feel empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work. Our strength as a company is, in part, due to how we leverage our differences and the individual experiences and ideas of all employees. Most importantly, creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work is the right thing to do.
Accountability
Our Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics summarizes our expectations for employees in the workplace. We hold similar expectations for our suppliers and require our partners to adhere to our Vendor Code of Conduct.
Giving Employees a Voice
We encourage our employees to report any instances of misconduct in the workplace through the Centuri Ethics Helpline. This helpline provides resources and avenues for reporting inappropriate workplace behavior. Each and every report is confidential and reviewed with the utmost sincerity.
