Pomerleau - 2024 Performance Report

Our Performance in 2024

To speed up our progress, we’ve adopted an initial target:

diverting 70% of residual materials from landf ills in 2025. This

is a step that will allow us to mobilize our teams and ref lects

our commitment to exploring innovative recovery solutions to

meet our clients’ increasing expectations.

On another front, the insights we gathered through our sur-

vey of our strategic suppliers gave us a clearer picture of their

sustainable development approach. This is an opportunity to

strengthen collaboration and align our common objectives—

namely, reduce our projects’ carbon footprint. We hope to sup-

port them in improving their own practices so that, together,

we can move towards more responsible solutions.

In 2024, closer collaboration with our waste management

suppliers brought us unprecedented visibility in terms of the

volumes generated and how they were processed. All of our

worksites combined generated 37,801 tons of residual materials,

down 36% compared with 2023. Our overall landf ill diversion

rate dropped from 76% in 2023 to 72% in 2024. Note that pro-

jects aiming for sustainable certif ication, which are included in

the overall performance, achieved even better results, with a

diversion rate of 77%, due to stricter certif ication requirements.

How do we explain these variations? For the most part, it’s

the way a project progresses and the varying nature of the

materials generated at the different construction phases.

Most of our current worksites began operating before 2024

and have reached fairly advanced phases, during which the

types of residual materials generated changes: there are fewer

concrete residues—a virtually 100% recyclable material—and

more materials with a lower recovery potential. The numbers

say it all: concrete represented 47% of our waste in 2023,

compared with only 34% in 2024.
