The resource sector plays a central role in Canada’s economy, and has a significant impact on its environment and society. Given its importance, it is essential that government and industry adopt strategic, Sustainable Resource Management practices.

Sustainable Resource Management supports a long-term, strategic approach to assessing and managing the real costs and benefits of the resource-based industry, from an environmental, economic and social perspective, on behalf of all affected stakeholders. It is concerned with mitigating the impact of resource exploitation, but also with ensuring that industry can continue to create jobs and prosperity by adopting sustainable practices.

Drawing on our influence as a sustainability leader, Stratos is working to help governments, businesses and civil society adopt the strategic planning tools and evaluative framework of Sustainable Resource Management to close the gap between sustainability promises and sustainability performance.
