Aecon Sustainability Solutions

We’re proud to partner with our clients to advance critical infrastructure projects and 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 driving the 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 in every aspect of our business. Along with our partners, clients, and leading-edge suppliers, we’re building thriving communities and playing a vital role in the transition to a net-zero economy. Aecon has made significant progress toward achieving one of the most ambitious GHG reduction targets in the construction industry - 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.
