We believe planning for a net-zero future is essential to minimize adverse environmental impacts, and addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change will require collaborative action and conscientious decisions.
Reducing GHG emissions is one of Ledcor’s key sustainability priorities, which is why we have joined the Government of Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge and are committed to being net-zero by 2050.
Our net-zero target covers our operations across Canada and the US and encompasses direct scope 1 emissions, indirect scope 2 emissions, and select scope 3 emissions from our value chain. This commitment is another step forward in our efforts to balance environmental responsibilities with economic prosperity.
Climate Disclosures
Ledcor supports and is aligning with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.
Ledcor’s pledge to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 underscores our commitment to environmental leadership. We recognize the imperative nature of addressing climate change and remain committed to pioneering sustainable solutions that benefit our planet and communities.
– Jeff Watt, President, Ledcor Group of Companies
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Profile
The following emissions profile outlines how Ledcor collects its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data.
Our direct GHG emissions come from the operation of our diverse fleet – from light duty vehicles to mobile equipment, marine vessels, and fixed- and rotary-wing aircrafts. It also includes emissions from sources heating the facilities we own and lease.
Our indirect GHG emissions are predominantly from purchased electricity consumed by our facilities.
As we understand the vast and complex sources of emissions from our value chain, we will incorporate scope 3 categories that contribute significantly to our diversified group of companies and where we have the most influence. This currently includes:
Category 1: Embodied emissions from select purchased goods and services
Category 6: Business travel emissions, and
Category 7: Employee commuting emissions.
Reducing Emissions and Business Growth
Ledcor uses fiscal year 2012 as a baseline to measure and monitor progress. While absolute scopes 1 and 2 emissions have increased due to the growth of Ledcor’s North American operations and diversification into the aviation sector, a dedicated focus on operational improvements has lowered our emissions intensity when compared to our baseline year.
Our disaggregated absolute emissions are shown below.
With a small set of data available, trending at this time is limited. As we continue to streamline our data collection processes, we will make data-driven decisions to promote climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Climate Risks and Opportunities
We work with internal and external stakeholders to analyze our exposure to climate hazards and systematically prioritize risks and opportunities.
Our climate risk assessment and mitigation processes include our Enterprise Risk Management, Crisis Management Plan, Business Continuity Plan, and site-specific Emergency Management Plans.
Climate Action
Ledcor has made strategic changes and investments that have helped us reduce emissions amid business growth and diversification. We will continue to take an innovative and collaborative approach to finding sustainable solutions for a climate-resilient tomorrow.
