Mass timber, embodied carbon, environmental, social and governance (ESG) endeavours — all of these “hot topics” recently made their way into PCLConstruction's 2021 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report.
September 26, 2022
“It’s a report that is a living document that evolves each year,” said Scott Beckman, director of sustainability at PCL. “What we’re trying to do is to incorporate some of the best practices that we see in ESG reporting, so we’ve adopted that and included more metrics and things that are quantifiable in our approach and in our outcomes for all three of those categories this year.”
Some of the accomplishments cited in the report include 248 LEED-certified projects with a value of more than $18 billion; water and wastewater facilities that provide more than 20 billion gallons of treated water per day; more than $3 billion worth of renewable energy projects; more than $500 million worth of biofuel and biogas projects; and more than 3.2 gigawatts of solar projects.
“We’ve also been transitioning our tools to electric and using battery generators where possible as opposed to gasoline or small diesel generators to reduce emissions. We continue to pilot solar jobsite trailers where feasible.”
