The Montreal-based general contractor joins a global movement of some 8,000 companies doing business differently : with integrity, responsibility, and impact.
Sidcan is proud to announce that it has obtained Certified B Corporation™ (B Corp™) certification. This recognition, issued by B Lab™, confirms what the Sidcan team has been putting into practice since its founding in 2015: that the construction industry can be a driver of positive change for people, communities, and the planet.
With more than ten years of activity, over 150 completed projects, and more than 2,000,000 square feet built, Sidcan has always refused to choose between excellence in execution and responsibility. B Corp™ certification validates this conviction: even in a demanding industry such as construction, it is possible to create value for clients while having a measurable and positive impact on employees, partners, and society.
B Corp™ certification evaluates a company’s practices as a whole: transparent governance, working conditions, environmental impact, community engagement, and relationships with clients. At Sidcan, this approach particularly resonates with the way we work: the firm becomes involved from the early stages of design, contributes its expertise with a focus on constructability and optimization, and treats every client as a true partner. This collaborative and committed approach, extending well beyond a simple execution mandate, is at the heart of what B Corp™ values.
“Through our continuous improvement approach, Sidcan strives to rank among the best professionals in the construction industry. Obtaining B Corp™ certification naturally supports this ambition: it encourages us to measure, strengthen, and share our impact, and to continue building, together, a fairer and more sustainable industry.”
