Sustainability

Our Approach

At Ledcor, we believe that sustainability requires a holistic approach in balancing the environmental, social and economic dimensions to find lasting prosperity.

In meeting Ledcor's needs, our commitment is to do so without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. We will achieve this by investigating risks, opportunities, and impacts on our employees, clients, partners, and other stakeholders in the many communities, ecosystems, and economies where we operate.

Inclusion & Diversity

We promote a work environment that inspires all team members to be their authentic selves at work. We know that a strong commitment to Inclusion and Diversity will enrich our culture, our workforce, and the industries and sectors where we operate.

As individuals from different backgrounds, we can tackle challenges together and promote innovation. As a team, we can work to uphold an inclusive and safe environment where differences are embraced, and diverse ideas are welcomed.

Community Impact

Our teams are committed to making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work, ensuring we leave behind more than just a job well done.

Embedded in our company culture is the Ledcor Cares spirit. That spirit comes from a desire to assist others in need and to help move our communities forward by coming together for organizations that have a place in our hearts.

Employee Engagement

Our people are the heart of Ledcor. We use the term True Blue to explain what it means to be part of the Ledcor team—it is the bond we share through our common beliefs, work ethic, and drive to get things done. True Blue celebrates our people, our values, how we work together, care about each other, and share a passion for the work we do. We invest in our employees as partners in the success of the company.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of Ledcor’s top sustainability priorities. Since our first GHG inventory in 2009, we have made numerous changes and investments that have helped us reduce emissions amid business growth and diversification. This includes making conscientious procurement decisions and exploring alternative, cleaner fuels.

Our participation in Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge is another step in our efforts to balance environmental responsibilities with economic growth. Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge is a Government of Canada initiative that encourages businesses to develop and implement plans to transition their facilities and operations to net-zero emissions by 2050. We believe that planning now for a net-zero future is essential.

Confidential reporting methods are also available for employees to report suspected unethical or illegal behavior.
