SES is committed to a healthy environment and sustainable resource use in Saskatchewan. We work to encourage informed decision-making that moves us towards sustainability. We undertake research, and use education, community outreach, consultation opportunities and demonstration projects. For over 30 years, SES has established a reputation for responsible, intelligent work. SES has been a primary influence on policy related to energy, land-use planning, forestry, hazardous materials, and renewable and non-renewable resource development. Through our educational programs we have reached thousands of young Saskatchewanians. The way we use water will be one of the major sustainability issues we will be working on. The renewed interest in nuclear power will require careful monitoring, research and critique. Climate change will bring new demands on our ingenuity. Our province, our country and our world need a strong, well-staffed and stable SES as we move into this future.
