Welcome to Environment Canada's Corporate Environmental Innovation Web site
Environment Canada's Corporate Environmental Innovation (CEI) initiative aims to accelerate innovation and improve environmental performance in the corporate sector by encouraging and supporting corporate sustainability leadership. Through collaboration with the private sector, academics, non-governmental organizations, and other government departments, CEI's goal is to encourage corporate sustainability leaders to keep leading and to help other companies see the benefit of following their example.
On this Web site, you will find information about the growing links between sustainable development and business value (or the “business value case” for corporate sustainability leadership), details on CEI project areas, as well as links to other Canadian and international corporate sustainability resources.
