Allison is ESG. She is an Environmental Biologist by trade and an industry leader in Sustainability, who was involved in the permitting of nine major projects in Canada and serving on the board of directors for various non-profit industry organizations and Tectonic, where she also serves as Chair of the Governance Committee.
