Westport ranked No. 1 on Canadian Cleantech 10 list
Westport Innovations Inc., producer of alternative fuel, low-emissions transportation technologies, has been ranked first on Corporate Knights Cleantech 10 list. As an independent media company, Corporate Knights confers the recognition upon Canada’s best publicly and privately held companies in the cleantech realm across a range of sectors.
“Westport is an example of how clean technology is moving into the mainstream. The company’s commercially available natural gas truck and bus engines deliver here-and-now solutions to global energy, climate, and air quality concerns,” said Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief, Corporate Knights magazine.
“The growth of Canada’s clean technology sector is the result of visionary companies who recognize that escalating energy and environmental concerns have created a tremendous opportunity for economic growth, job creation, and global leadership in a low carbon economy,” said Karen Hamberg, Director, Sustainability & Environmental Performance for Westport Innovations Inc. “Westport strives to reduce its environmental impact in its operations as well as deliver significant economic, environmental and energy security benefits to customers with quality heavy-duty engine solutions.”
As part of the award, Westport is participating in the opening bell ceremony of the Toronto Stock Exchange with Corporate Knights today. Corporate Knights Inc. has been following cleantech companies since 2007 and highlighting the best investment prospects – it seeks out technology-driven growth companies that have big impacts on resource efficiency and the environment, not simply those re-branding themselves as ‘green.’
