Ameresco Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Global Company of the Year Award for Excellence in Energy Services
SAN ANTONIO, July 1, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Ameresco has been awarded the 2025 Global Company of the Year Award in the energy services industry for its outstanding achievements in customer-driven innovation, strategic execution, and sustainable energy impact. This recognition highlights Ameresco's consistent leadership in delivering measurable energy performance outcomes, strengthening its position as a trusted partner in a complex and evolving global energy landscape.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: visionary innovation and customer impact. Ameresco excelled in both, demonstrating a strong ability to align its growth strategy with dynamic customer needs while delivering consistent, scalable energy solutions across a diverse range of sectors. "Ameresco's steady focus on energy solutions integration, including solar, battery, biogas, and microgrids, gives it a clear competitive advantage in markets and regions focused on transitioning to resilient, reliable energy. Ameresco's complete solution suite spans from energy efficiency solutions to renewable energy products to generative technologies. The company is an expert in bringing products together across various industry segments, empowering value regardless of a client's specific industry, project requirements, or goals," said Lucrecia Gomez, E&E research director for Frost & Sullivan.
Guided by a long-term vision focused on energy innovation, customer partnerships, and financial accessibility, Ameresco has shown exceptional agility in responding to the complex demands of today's energy landscape. The company's sustained investment in flexible financing models, project-specific engineering, and lifecycle service delivery has allowed it to effectively scale energy efficiency and energy generation solutions across North America, Europe, and emerging global markets.
Innovation is central to Ameresco's differentiated approach. Its end-to-end suite of services—including energy audits, technical design, project financing, implementation, and long-term maintenance—empowers clients to optimize energy consumption without incurring significant capital expenditures. A standout element of its offering is the use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs), which enable clients to implement large-scale energy upgrades with guaranteed performance outcomes—often structured to be budget-neutral or even cost-saving overtime.
"This recognition from Frost & Sullivan is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of our entire Ameresco team," said George Sakellaris, President and Chief Executive Officer at Ameresco. "We remain committed to delivering transformative energy solutions that empower our customers to meet their resiliency and sustainability goals while driving long-term value."
Ameresco's vendor-agnostic model enhances its ability to tailor solutions to specific project goals, energy sources, and technical environments. This independence ensures that customers receive bespoke systems engineered around their operational objectives, rather than being constrained by pre-defined products or technologies. With deep expertise across traditional and emerging energy platforms, the company helps customers—from municipalities and federal agencies to commercial and industrial clients—achieve energy savings, grid resilience, and carbon reduction targets.
Frost & Sullivan commends Ameresco for setting a new standard in the energy services industry. Its ability to blend technical depth, financial innovation, and customer-centric service delivery is reshaping how energy solutions are procured, deployed, and managed on a global scale. The company's continued growth trajectory and expanding customer base reflect both the market's confidence and the proven value Ameresco delivers to its clients.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Award to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The award recognizes forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

If the closing of the Transaction has not completed by August 29, 2025, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the escrowed proceeds returned to the subscribers. Cascadia will use the proceeds of the Placement to pay expenses associated with the Transaction and to conduct exploration on the Carmacks Project.

Catch exhibits extensive high-grade copper and gold mineralization across a 5 km long trend, with rock samples returning peak values of 3.88% copper, 1,065 g/t gold, and 267 g/t silver. Cascadia and Granite Creek Copper Ltd. recently announced a merger, whereby Cascadia will acquire all outstanding shares of Granite Creek by way of a plan of arrangement (see news release dated June 9, 2025).

The project is located south of and within 35km of the past-producing Minto mine, which was recently acquired by Selkirk Copper Mines. The Carmacks Project hosts a Measured and Indicated Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81 % copper, 0.26 g/t gold, and 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) with a 2023 PEA demonstrating positive economic potential ($230.5 M Post-Tax NPV (5%) and 29% Post-Tax IRR).

La Caisse firmly rejects allegations that it facilitates or encourages international crimes through its investments Français
MONTRÉAL, July 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Following the publication of the report by United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, La Caisse wishes to be clear and firmly rejects allegations that it facilitates or encourages international crimes through its investments. Allegations and facts must be corrected. For one, the majority of investments in the companies mentioned are not directly managed by La Caisse. They are managed by intermediaries or are held through standard products offered to all investors. Furthermore, La Caisse holds a very small percentage of shares in these companies, which limits its ability to directly influence them. In actual fact, it owns less than 0.1% of the majority of the companies identified. The rest are largely multinationals, such as Booking, Airbnb or Alphabet (Google), that are available and used all over the world and owned by a large number of investors. In addition, when La Caisse cannot exercise direct influence to encourage best practices, it does so through Federated Hermès, a globally recognized service provider specialized in shareholder engagement. We expect all of these companies to meet the highest standards wherever they operate. Lastly, La Caisse would like to reiterate that it has also ceased any new engagement in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. La Caisse also reaffirms that it acts at all times in full compliance with all requirements of Canadian law and will continue to act in accordance with international standards on this matter wherever it operates. La Caisse takes its responsibilities as a global investor very seriously and is committed to continue operating according to the highest standards of human rights. ABOUT LA CAISSE At La Caisse, formerly CDPQ, we have invested for 60 years with a dual mandate: generate optimal long-term returns for our 48 depositors, who represent over 6 million Quebecers, and contribute to Québec's economic development. As a global investment group, we are active in the major financial markets, private equity, infrastructure, real estate and private credit. As at December 31, 2024, La Caisse's net assets totalled CAD 473 billion. For more information, visit or consult our LinkedIn or Instagram pages.

"I couldn't believe my eyes!" - A young woman in her twenties wins $1,000 a week for life! Français
MONTRÉAL, July 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Brenda Aubin-Vega, a Montrealer in her twenties, discovered that she won the Gagnant à vie top prize of $1,000 a week for life during her break at work. "I couldn't believe my eyes! I checked my ticket over and over again," she said. Aubin-Vega had to choose between receiving the $1,000 a week for life annuity or the $1,000,000 lump-sum prize; she opted for the annuity, which she will receive for the rest of her days. Highlights Aubin-Vega buys a ticket for Gagnant à vie, her favourite lottery game, a few times a year. During her break, she decided to treat herself and picked up two tickets at a convenience store in Montréal. Sitting comfortably outside her workplace, she scratched her tickets and discovered three piggy bank symbols in the same game. While checking the prize associated with these symbols, she found out she'd won $1,000 a week for life! She called her father to tell him the good news. Feeling overwhelmed, she asked to take the rest of the day off to let the dust settle. The lucky winner plans to buy a house with the annuity she will receive each week. The winning ticket was purchased at Dépanneur Jen & Dan, located at 1655 Rue Poirier in Montréal. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $10,000. Gagnant à Vie and Grande Vie: ten prizes already won this year Since the start of 2025, 10 prizes have been won in Québec with Gagnant à Vie and Grande Vie tickets. The Gagnant à vie top prize of $1,000 a week for life was awarded nine times. The Grande Vie lottery game has provided one lucky winner with a lifetime annuity of $25,000 a year for life. About Loto-Québec Loto-Québec has been delivering entertainment to Quebecers for over 50 years, and its operations benefit Québec as a whole. Last year, the corporation paid out almost $1.8 billion in prizes to winners across Québec. Major prize winners are listed on the Winners page in the Lotteries section of Read their stories.
