Why is this webinar topic important for environmental professionals?

Societal values can affect a company’s social license to operate when the company is perceived as having a negative impact on the environment. In recent years, maintaining social license has become imperative for natural resource extraction sectors.

Environmental professionals can use natural capital assessments to help identify all impacts and dependencies on the natural environment to help mitigate the loss of social license to operate.

Reconnaissance des terres

Dans un esprit de respect, de réciprocité et de vérité, nous honorons et reconnaissons Moh’kinsstis, le territoire traditionnel du Traité 7 et les pratiques orales de la confédération des Pieds-Noirs : Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, ainsi que les nations Îyâxe Nakoda et Tsuut’ina. Nous reconnaissons que ce territoire abrite la Nation métisse de l’Alberta, la région 3 au sein de la patrie historique des Métis du Nord-Ouest. Enfin, nous reconnaissons toutes les nations qui vivent, travaillent et se divertissent sur ce territoire, et qui l’honorent et le célèbrent.
