ECO Canada is a strategic partner to industry, academia and practitioners.

Our services hit every touch point within the environmental workforce from educational development, to certification and soft skills training – we serve our members to ensure they can build and grow their careers.

Over our 29-year history, it has never been more important than now for ECO Canada to build its presence in cities and locations where major industries, like the Canadian energy sector, are being challenged. Our focus is to educate and talk with all stakeholders about the need to shift understanding around how environmental talent can redefine and rebuild these shrinking markets.

Core Values

Independence

We maintain independence in all areas of activity from funding to the development of policy positions.

Service & Quality

We strive to provide value to industry, employers and the workforce by ensuring high quality products and services.

Responsibility

The collective interest of our members is paramount over the individual needs of any member. By reflecting the collective interests of our members and stakeholders in our policy positions and initiatives, we will achieve the broader needs of society.

Sustainability

The need to consider not only the protection of the environment, but also human health and quality of life of individuals and communities achieved through prosperity and an equitable participation of all, is a principle that underlines all our activities.
