Covia strives to cultivate a nurturing environment where team members with diverse backgrounds and experiences can thrive, recognizing that the success of a company is equal to the strength of its people.

Covia is pleased to announce that we were honored with the 2024 Environmental/Sustainability Award during the Peterborough County Community Recognition Awards ceremony on Thursday, May 16th at the Douro Community Centre in Peterborough, Ontario.

At Covia, we believe that thriving communities can help change the world. That’s why The Covia Foundation, Covia’s philanthropic arm, has been investing in social impact for decades.

I’ve always found it valuable to give your available time to help support and educate the younger generation. Thanks to my career at Covia, I’ve been able to follow this principle and give back to those in my community while following my passion for environmentalism.

Covia is thrilled to be partnering with Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) in an effort to safeguard and enhance the habitat of the migratory monarch butterfly and other pollinators.

Covia is proud to have contributed to the Wildlife Habitat Council's (WHC) white paper entitled "Enhancing Habitats for Reptiles and Amphibians."

Two of Covia’s plants are nominees for awards from the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) this year. Those nominated represent companies certified by the WHC with outstanding voluntary programs that aim to create, conserve, and restore wildlife habitat.

At Covia, prioritizing Safety First is a fundamental principle. We implement various measures to ensure that Safety and Health (S&H) are consistently at the forefront for our Team Members, contractors, vendors, suppliers, and customers.

Every year, Covia recognizes the outstanding work and contributions of Team Members, project teams, and plants, through several awards and accolades. The Covia Excellence Awards are one way we celebrate our team’s efforts.

One of my favorite things about Covia is the people. Since I was hired back in 2014, I’ve been able to work alongside such a reliable, open, and supportive group of Team Members.
