Happy #EarthDay!
At Wesgroup, we’re proud to build in Vancouver, a city known for its natural beauty and deep connection to the environment. We’re incredibly fortunate to call this place home, and with that comes a responsibility: to protect it, preserve it, and help it thrive for generations to come.
As part of our broader sustainability goals, Wesgroup is committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. We`ve also set an ambitious interim target; to reduce emissions by 58% from 2022 levels by 2032 across our residential, commercial, and retail standing assets. To date, we’ve already achieved a 7% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
One way we`re doing this is through the use of low carbon concrete. Between 2020 and 2024, we incorporated 13,899 m3 of low carbon concrete into projects like King Edward, Fynn, ACE, and several others. This effort resulted in a reduction of 1,359,729 kg of CO₂e, the equivalent of removing nearly 300 cars from the road for an entire year.
As we celebrate Earth Day, we’re reminded that #sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a long-term commitment to our city, our communities, and our planet. Let’s continue to build better, together.
