AECL’s commitment to sustainable development starts at the top and is factored into all of its business planning activities. In 2004, this commitment became evident at the Chalk River Laboratories when it achieved the ISO-14001 Environmental Management System certification, recognized internationally as a key to guiding organizations to environmental responsibility and continual improvement.

Overall, AECL’s environmental performance has been steadily improving in recent years. This is documented in the company’s annual Environmental Performance Reports, which summarize the combined environmental performance of AECL sites in Canada.
