Rebuilding Together: Our New Sustainability Report
Skeena’s 2024 Sustainability Report is now out. Entitled “Rebuilding Together,” it details the ways we are making a positive impact on people, communities and the planet, while pursuing responsible business growth. It also highlights the significant economic benefits that Eskay Creek will generate for local and Indigenous communities.
Highlights from the Sustainability Report
- Skeena developed and submitted our robust Environmental Assessment Certification application for Eskay Creek to the Province of B.C. and the Tahltan Central Government.
- We employed 766 full-time workers, including 450 contractors and 316 employees; 21% of full-time Skeena employees were Indigenous, with 16% of these in management positions.
- Reflecting our commitment to ‘buy local’, we spent $97 million (after tax) to procure products and services in B.C., of which $37.8 million were purchases from Indigenous-owned businesses and entities.
- Skeena representatives held over 300 meetings and consultations with the Tahltan Nation, other Indigenous groups and local community members with respect to the Eskay Creek Project.
