She was also selected to join Canada’s Clean16, representing the top nominee in the financial services category.
“The 2015 Clean16 are truly the leaders of the leaders in sustainability in Canada,” says Gavin Pitchford, chief talent officer at Delta Management Group, which manages the Clean50 initiative. “To be selected from amongst such a strong group of peers is truly a testament to the contribution these individuals have made to helping make living well in Canada more sustainable for all Canadians.”
In order to determine honourees, Delta carefully considers actual measurable accomplishments, demonstrated innovation, collaboration with other organizations and the power of the honouree’s contribution to inspire other Canadians to take similar action.
