ESG Focus Areas

  • Climate Change
  • Biodiversity
  • Sustainable Mobility
  • Resource Management
  • Air Quality

Environmental Achievements

  • Achieved Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Level 1 mapping certification, identifying key emission sources.
  • Reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions to 413.1 tCO2e in 2022.

Social Achievements

  • Established a working group with stakeholders (including the City of Longueuil) to develop and implement sustainability initiatives.
  • Planning for carpooling system, active mobility station, and partnerships with cab providers to improve sustainable transportation.

Governance Achievements

  • Created a working group dedicated to sustainable development and climate action, actively contributing to initiative development.
  • Adopted the BNQ 21000 approach for corporate social responsibility, guiding responsible practices across economic, social, environmental, and governance dimensions.

Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Medium-term Goals:
  • Achieve zero waste in the terminal by 2030.
  • Reduce water consumption by 50%.
Short-term Goals:
  • Achieve 80% waste diversion rate by 2025.
  • Reduce non-recyclable waste by 50% by 2025.

Environmental Challenges

  • Reducing Scope 3 emissions due to lack of direct control over emissions from partners and suppliers.
  • Managing energy consumption in large, energy-intensive terminals (estimated 7 MW annually).
  • Finding electric solutions for heavy vehicles (snow ploughs, snow blowers, fire trucks).
Mitigation Strategies
  • Focusing on Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction initially, while preparing for Scope 3 initiatives.
  • Implementing energy efficiency measures in the new terminal (heat recovery, natural light maximization, automatic lighting, etc.).
  • Transitioning to alternative fuels for ground vehicles (electric towing vehicles).

Supply Chain Management

Supplier Audits: Not disclosed

Responsible Procurement
  • Prioritizing local suppliers from Quebec.
  • Requiring contractors to recycle 90% or more of construction residues.
