In accepting the award, Rick George, president and CEO said: "Suncor’s 2003 report focused on stakeholders – the employees, customers, communities and shareholders – who have a stake in our business and our vision of becoming a sustainable energy company. Getting this award affirms our commitment to open, honest and thorough communication on our progress and challenges."
