Sancon Commissioning Inc – Houston, Texas

Sancon has been awarded a ‘Silver’ Sustainability rating from EcoVadis, a premier third-party rating agency. Originally undertaken at the request of a major client, Sancon was able to review and upgrade its environmental, social and governance practices to achieve this important benchmark.

“We are pleased to be recognized as one of the top 20% of firms rated by EcoVadis. This rating reflects our commitment to not just being a leader in commissioning services but our focus on robust sustainability and corporate social responsibility practices,” commented Brian Douglas, Sancon CEO.

 The journey to sustainable growth is always a challenge when striving to meet the differing regimes of large international customers, the variety of sectors served in a wide range of legislative jurisdictions. The effort in achieving this Corporate Social Responsibility leadership affirms the Sancon corporate mission of Better Community Outcomes, not just Better Project Outcomes.

Since its founding in 2007, EcoVadis has grown to become the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 100,000+ rated companies. The EcoVadis sustainability assessment methodology is at the heart of its Ratings and Scorecards and is an evaluation of how well a company has integrated the principles of Sustainability/CSR into their business and management system. Its methodology is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and the ISO 26000, covering 200+ spend categories and 175+ countries. The Sustainability Scorecard illustrates performance across 21 indicators in four themes – Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

With 2021 wrapping up and the holiday season upon us, our team is reflecting on the importance of giving back. The past two years have been challenging to say the least, but helping others in our community is a fundamental value for Sancon.

Last year, our leadership team took the time to get feedback from our most important stakeholders, our staff, on what charities they support and align with.  After engaging our staff and looking further into each organization that was proposed, Sancon decided to make Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and area (BBBS) its charity of choice.

If you don’t know about BBBS, they match young people facing adversity with trained adult mentors in 1-1 or group mentoring programs. These programs give young people the support, skills and growth to have better outcomes in their future. 

Sancon understands investing in the future. We continually provide mentorship opportunities by pairing our more experienced technicians and leads with our younger boots on the ground staff to aid in their development, confidence and growth. 

This past year Sancon helped low income Calgarians get access to the digital world by dropping off twelve laptops and desktop computers to BBBS and the Calgary Drop-In Centre over the summer.  You can read more about it here.

Then, this fall, Sancon sponsored BBBS’ Big Brunch and helped raise more than $90,000 for its programming and services. It was a great day to learn about the benefits of mentorship right in our own community after hearing from a mentorship pair about their experience.

Sancon will continue to support our community builders including BBBS with more future events and fundraising activities and to get our own staff involved in the program to become “Bigs”. Sancon envisions a corporate culture that is engaged, collaborative and diverse thanks to these opportunities to partner with organizations like BBBS.
