R.V. Anderson Associates Limited (RVA) is proud to be recognized as the recipient of the 2026 Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE) Employer Impact Award for Sustainability from the University of Waterloo.

Sustainability is at the core of RVA’s mission and values. We aim to embed environmental stewardship into every aspect of our work, while actively fostering this mindset in the next generation of talent. Through our co-op program, we empower students to engage with sustainable practices firsthand, deepening their understanding of environmental responsibility and enabling them to contribute meaningfully to projects that reduce carbon footprints and build resilience. Their curiosity, fresh perspectives, and commitment play an important role in advancing our environmental sustainability goals.

“This recognition reflects RVA’s commitment to integrating sustainable practices into our work and creating lasting, positive impacts in the communities we serve. It highlights the collective efforts of our employees, partners, and students who contribute to advancing sustainable solutions every day. We are proud to support and mentor the next generation of professionals who share our vision of building a more sustainable future.” Talent Acquisition Specialist, Aeliya Saeed.

This dedication extends beyond our projects and into how we operate as an organization. Through initiatives led by our Climate Action Committee, employee engagement activities such as Brown Bag sessions, 101s, surveys, and volunteer opportunities, as well as individual and company-wide, we continuously foster a culture of awareness, accountability, and action as we strive to remain aligned with our ESG Policy.

This award reflects the passion and dedication of our people and the students who grow alongside us – working together to advance a more sustainable future for the communities we serve.

We extend our sincere thanks to the University of Waterloo and CEE for this meaningful recognition.
