Hamilton - Max Cananzi, President, Alectra Utilities was presented with the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA) 2019 Individual Leadership on Sustainability award in recognition of achievements and promoting sustainability broadly and locally within the electricity sector.
The CEA recognized organizations demonstrating innovation, leadership and transformation that are critical to creating a sustainable electricity industry at the annual Powering Partnerships awards reception in Ottawa.
Key factors considered in awarding Mr. Cananzi the Award are the work he accomplished at Horizon Utilities, one of Alectra’s predecessor utilities, as well as the leadership he exemplifies at Alectra.
As a result of Max’s commitment to sustainability, Alectra Utilities has reduced single-use plastics by eliminating plastic water bottles, connected some corporate offices to district energy services and invested in electric and hybrid vehicles. Max led the work on defining sustainability through leading the Sustainability Corporate Steering Committee which has defined Alectra’s sustainability framework.
