This prestigious award recognizes SNC-Lavalin as a global leader in industry ethics and compliance programs. We have also been granted early release from the sanctions imposed on us by the World Bank eight years ago. These two achievements tell a story of wrongdoing, honest reflection, hard work, investment in resources and reinvention over a period of almost 10 years. Following unethical activities that took place in our organization prior to 2012, we have been on a transformative journey. From crisis, to industry leaders in integrity, we are proud of the transformation we’ve undergone and thank our employees, clients and partners for supporting us throughout.
