2022 Sustainability Report - Building a Sustainable Future
Working Towards Net Zero Construction
Today, the construction industry is responsible for about 10% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide¹, and faces many opportunities for increased efficiency
and lower emissions. Aecon is working to make construction activity more sustainable through innovative equipment, data-driven work processes and
enhanced management of materials and waste. This is a summary of key initiatives we're using to reduce emissions and work towards net zero construction:
