Dexterra Group fully recognizes the importance of ESG initiatives in developing and strengthening the growth trajectory of our organization. Through our approach, we aim to take a leadership role by advancing our understanding of sustainability data capture and reporting, developing strategic partnerships and implementing best practices to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment and make a positive contribution to the communities in which we live and work.
To achieve this goal, we aim to:
Our three pillars of sustainability guide our approach to ESG initiatives, while illustrating the value these activities bring to our organization and the communities and economies in which we operate.
Reducing our impact on the natural world
Our engagement with environmental initiatives extends not only to the immediate impact of our organization, but also to enabling our clients to meet their environmental performance objectives. Working collaboratively with clients and suppliers, we strive to be best in class at reducing waste; managing use of water, energy and raw materials; and protecting biodiversity wherever we operate.
Dexterra Group’s approach to environmental management is reflected in our integrated management system and meets the stringent legislative requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard.
Supporting the communities in which we live and work
Dexterra Group plays a vital role in helping communities and economies thrive, and we are committed to contributing positively to the places in which we live and work. Our focus areas for community engagement, which serve as the foundation for our outreach and support programs, include mental health and safety, protecting the environment, supporting Indigenous and Native American communities, supporting military families, supporting at-risk children and youth and supporting new citizens.
In alignment with our values, building transparent, lasting and mutually beneficial relationships is important to the success of our business. From an emphasis on local hiring to participation in business associations to charitable support, we understand that our activities and engagement can lead to outcomes that both benefit the business and strengthen communities.
