Aecon Sustainability Solutions

We’re proud to partner with our clients to advance critical infrastructure projects and help build a sustainable future. Our Aecon Sustainability Solutions business model helps our clients navigate the complexities of a transformational energy market. We provide a single point of entry to Aecon’s diverse capabilities and ensure integrated project management throughout the project lifecycle. This means greater client responsiveness and consistent on-time project delivery.

What we Build

We work with our clients to deliver infrastructure projects that are helping advance the energy transition to a net zero future. We do so through a single point of entry called Aecon Sustainability Solutions.

How we Build

Meeting our own Sustainability Goals

In addition to providing sustainability solutions for our clients, we're also committed to reducing our own environmental impact by acting responsibly throughout our business. Along with our partners, clients, and leading-edge suppliers, we’re helping to build thriving communities and playing a vital role in the transition to a net-zero economy. Aecon has made continued progress toward achieving our GHG reduction targets to reduce our direct CO2 emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. In 2021, we proudly achieved a 15 per cent year-over-year CO2 emissions reduction on an intensity basis and completed a comprehensive GHG inventory, which now includes a scan of indirect (Scope 3) emissions.

United Nations - Sustainabale Development Goals - Horizontal

To guide global efforts toward sustainable development, the United Nations has articulated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the complexity of today’s social, economic and environmental challenges, actors across society - governments, nonprofits, businesses and civil society organizations - all have an important role to play in advancing these goals.

Aecon embraces our responsibility to contribute to a more prosperous and sustainable future. We track our contributions to the SDGs where we believe we can have the greatest impact given the nature of our work and our priorities as an organization.
