Earth Day the Pomerleau Way
David Morley
Infrastructure leader with executive experience in business and government.
On #earthday2023, I realized how much Pomerleau is taking practical action as one of the Canada's fastest growing and sustainable construction enterprises. Here’s my take on what makes us green and great based on the GLOBE Series GlobeXchange 10x10 Path to Net Zero:
1.?????Mobilizing and deploying #capital – PomerleauCapital expanded in 2022 with the Sustainable Infrastructure and Renewable Fund, building on over $700m in assets under management and $2b financing raised.
2.?????Unlocking #innovation – In-house innovation ecosystem that is implementing AI, robotics, BIM, drones and more to make projects smart, productive and efficient.
3.?????Transparency, standards and reporting – First ESG report released in 2022 with actions in motion under the oversight by an internal advisory committee.
4.?????Advancing resiliency – Committed to 40% reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gases from 2021-2030.
5.?????Creating a circular economy – By 2025 we will be able to trace residual materials across all our projects – which builds on 68% of residual materials from projects diverted from landfills in 2021. ?

6.?????Implementing nature based solutions – Environment is one of the five core themes for our community giving program, and $250,000 is committed to preserving natural habitat in Quebec in partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
7.?????Creating Indigenous leadership, engagement and ways of knowing – Indigenous partnerships are included in our ESG strategy, implemented real-time including on projects like the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority redevelopment project, or supported like the Skills Ontario First Nations, Metis and Inuit youth conference.
8.?????Leveraging #infrastructure and the built environment – Over 50% of our building projects are sustainable certified and our portfolio of sustainable certified buildings will grow by 30% by 2030.
9.?????Shifting to #lowcarbon transportation – By 2025, aiming to electrify 75% of our fleet construction vehicles and an incentive is in place to help employees buy green personal vehicles.
