At Hatfield, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is at the forefront of everything we do. CSR is a guiding tool that helps us incorporate environmental and social concerns into our decision-making processes and interactions with our employees, clients, Indigenous Nations, and stakeholders. This approach enables us to anticipate and manage risk, improve our social license and reputation, attract and retain staff who share our values, and increase our operational efficiency, creativity, and competitiveness.
Hatfield strives to exceed legal and other mandated standards to fulfill our CSR objectives in: organizational governance; human rights; labour practices; environmental sustainability; fair operating practices; client relationships; and community involvement and development. Above all, we value honesty, respect, and integrity through our CSR mandate and our company core values.
We support staff to give back to the community through paid volunteerism and actively coordinate fundraising for selected non-profits and charitable programs.
Our commitment to maintaining high ethical standards and operating with a social conscience is fundamental to who we are. External recognition has followed including several awards as one of Canada’s Top 100 SME Employers (including 2022, 2024, and 2025), North Vancouver Chamber Best Employer (2024), and BC Business of Good Award (2020) celebrating companies with a high level of social and environmental responsibility. Recognition includes the Environmental Managers Association of BC with awards for Hatfield’s projects and staff, most recently in 2024. We are also proud of two historical awards – the 2007 Nexen Award for Excellence in Corporate Social and Ethical Responsibility and the 2000 Mark Drake Award in Recognition of Excellence in Communicating Private Sector Contributions to International Cooperation Issues.

Our Environment
Hatfield is committed to being a leader in minimizing the impact of our activities on the environment and supporting the environmental protection initiatives of our clients.
Our corporate culture focuses on high quality, ethical work that protects and conserves our environment. Our Environmental Policy was created to highlight the ways that consideration and respect for the environment is inherent to our business, and the foundation of our culture.
Our Communities
We strive to make positive contributions in the communities where we live, work, and play in Canada and our international offices in Indonesia and Botswana.
Workplace events routinely raise funds to support community organizations and initiatives including local food banks, Streamkeepers, invasive plant removal, shoreline cleanup, and a children’s charity in Indonesia. During times of emergency, we rally our staff to support disaster response organizations such as the Red Cross during the Fort McMurray wildfire disaster of 2018.
Our staff also gives back to their professional communities of practice, lending their expertise and experience for mentorship and addressing local community needs, from financial literacy training to sustainable transportation planning.
