On the site of the Haleco project in Montreal, we worked

with two partners to give several materials a new life.

Following the deconstruction of buildings on the site, several

components, including faucets, hardware and doors, were

given to Architecture sans frontières, an organization that

helps communities around the world affected by natural or

other disasters and social inequalities. We also collaborated

with arborists and the Centre de valorisation du bois urbain,

a social economy enterprise, to ensure the transformation

of ash trees that had been cut into hardwood f looring.

A new employee was hired to speed up the progress of

our circular economy plan His mission is to develop and

roll out initiatives to bring us closer to our goals He works

in collaboration with our internal teams and our suppliers

to develop opportunities to divert materials through the

reduction reuse recycling and recovery of residual materials

We rely on the creation of partnerships to develop and

deploy innovative solutions with the goal of accelerating

the integration of circular practices on our sites In 2022 we

worked with La Factry to develop circular economy solutions

on a project
