Our Purpose

Our Coastal and Nature Based Solutions team’s purpose is to make a positive difference in the world by creating resilient, sustainable, and socio-economically balanced solutions for communities and the environment. Our solutions embed features that address climate change (e.g., sea level rise), create or enhance biodiversity (e.g., living shorelines), and/or employ green infrastructure investments (e.g., bio-habitats for stormwater management and other co-benefits such as carbon sequestration).

Stantec leverages its established global platform to deliver future, climate ready solutions across all client portfolios and geographies. We work with global and local organizations and collaboratively share the engineered and scientific innovations we have developed, to intentionally seek out tactical strategies that benefit and protect both the built and natural environment. We create opportunity by building trusted relationships with our clients, partners, and each other. Stantec’s international collaboration platforms and communication tools allow us to seamlessly respond at a global and local level. We have proven that the concept of international success can be achieved through trusted collaboration with our clients and technical delivery teams.

Projects and Initiatives

Stantec worked with county officials and other stakeholders to protect one of the few remaining  undeveloped beach shorelines along Lake Michigan between Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and Chicago, Illinois.  Learn more here.
