2021 Annual Impact Report
In 2018, WalterFedy committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% over 2017 levels, which means we need to reduce business travel and commuting. We are actively encouraging employees to commute less, or more sustainably using bikes or transit, and to leverage communications tools to reduce the need for on-site meetings.
Recently we purchased enough carbon offsets to counter our 2019 GHG emissions. Our contribution will fund two projects in our province. The first is the Niagara Escarpment Forest Carbon project, which promotes and maintains ecosystems throughout the Escarpment. The second is the Ontario Biodiversity Afforestation Project, which re-establishes long-lived forest species on land formerly reserved for agriculture.
