Statement from the CEO
Dear Stakeholders,
I’m pleased to present Capstone Infrastructure’s enhanced 2014 Sustainability Report. This new more comprehensive report highlights our key achievements in responsibly managing our business during the past year.
Sustainability is an essential element of Capstone’s guiding principles. At a fundamental level, we recognize the impact our operations can have on a range of stakeholder groups in three broad categories: environmental, social and governance. We have made it a practice to publicly declare our corporate social responsibility policy on our website, in our annual information form and to benchmark our progress in meeting our obligations in this report.
Our commitment to the environment includes managing our use of resources such as water, energy and other materials, as well as contributing to a greener future through our renewable energy portfolio.
Our belief in social responsibility includes contributing to the quality of life for our employees, our partners and the communities where we operate, through engagement, sponsorship and fundraising for a variety of philanthropic causes and community initiatives.
Capstone’s dedication to rigorous governance standards is exemplified by our high degree of transparency, majority independent Board of Directors and comprehensive code of conduct for all directors, officers, employees and contractors.
Capstone is continuously enhancing the disclosure of sustainability metrics that intersect with our operations. This report and those to follow will systematically incorporate more of the global standards for measuring and tracking aspects of sustainability as the stakeholder and regulatory environment evolves.
A responsibly run corporation creates value for all — our business, our investors, our employees and our communities. In the year ahead we will remain focused on seeking new opportunities to integrate sustainability principles into our strategies and operations.
Sincerely,
Michael Bernstein
President and Chief Executive Officer
