“During my role as the Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Reporting & Compliance Intern at Manitoba Corporation under direct supervision of Brian Shine,I watched webinars organized by Priscilla Sidero, helped Manitoba fill out the EcoVadis reassessment survey this year, and achieved a 45% increase in the overall score. This major improvement helped Manitoba earn a Sustainability Commitment Badge from EcoVadis. My connection to Brian was made possible by the ReMA student Sustainability Pathways Program…Thank you all for making my internship with Manitoba meaningful and fruitful.”
