The Canada’s Clean50 Honour is awarded annually to the 50 individual leaders (and small teams) who have contributed the most to enhancing sustainability, clean tech and clean capitalism in Canada over the prior 2 years. now in its eighth year, in total, over 450 remarkable individuals have been recognized for their significant accomplishments and leadership. The annual Clean50 Summit brings together sustainability, policy and clean tech experts from disparate canadian endeavors, seeking to enhance opportunities for these leaders find new and innovative ways to collaborate. These individuals collectively lead the fight against climate change and embrace a low carbon future, improve both corporate and environmental performance, and enhance Canada’s prosperity

Honourees are selected by lead sponsor, corporate sustainability and clean tech search firm Delta Management Group, with assistance from a distinguished team of advisors, and support from sustainability champions The Globe and Mail, HP Canada, unilever, Cn rail, Enwave Energy, resolute Forest Products, Ontario Centres of Excellence, Bullfrog Power and GlobeSeries.

CANADA’S CLEAN50 FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE

All of the 2019 Clean16, 48 of the 50 2019 Clean50, and all 10 2019 Emerging Leaders, pictured here, were amongst the 120 sustainability and clean tech leaders who gathered from across canada to participate in Clean50 Summit 8.0 at Wychwood Barns in Toronto. Participants, who included approximately 30 Clean50 Alumni, including Clean16 2016, Ontario’s past premier Kathleen Wynne, each engaged in 3 different work groups, 30 in all, and

debated the merits of the various ways in which Canada could move to a more prosperous low-carbon economy. Post-Summit outcomes have included work on a “Canadian Clean Freight Standard” and a group advancing sustainable procurement methods.
