President’s Statement
Edmonton Kenworth Ltd. remains committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in compliance with all applicable laws. We continue to maintain a zero-tolerance approach toward modern slavery, forced labor, and child labor within our operations and supply chain.
During the 2026 reporting year, we maintained the policies, procedures, and controls implemented in prior years to support ethical sourcing and responsible business practices. We completed our audit of major suppliers and found no evidence of forced labor, child labor, or other modern slavery concerns. No supplier investigations or incidents related to modern slavery were identified during the reporting period.
As Edmonton Kenworth Ltd. progresses through its merger process with Inland Kenworth, we remain committed to maintaining strong compliance standards and continuing our efforts to uphold human rights throughout our business relationships and operations.
We proudly continue to serve communities across Alberta as an authorized Kenworth dealership and remain dedicated to conducting business in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of all individuals connected to our operations.
Our Organization
Edmonton Kenworth Ltd., a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) established in 1982, operates 7 locations across Alberta. As a premier Kenworth dealership with a Paclease division, we employ approximately 320 staff and strive to foster a diverse, inclusive, and ethical workplace culture.
We continue to uphold high professional and ethical standards throughout our organization and expect the same from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Sustainability, accountability, and community impact remain integral pillars of our operations and long-term objectives.
