CLF Toronto: How Canada's Top Contractors are Reducing Jobsite Emissions

Nine of Canada’s largest general contractors—Aecon, Bird, Chandos, EllisDon, Graham, Ledcor, Multiplex, PCL, and Pomerleau—have partnered with The Transition Accelerator to release a groundbreaking new report charting a practical path to meeting the scale of Canada’s construction challenge while significantly reducing emissions from jobsites nationwide. Drawing on operational data from more than 600 real-world projects, Growing and Greening Canadian Construction: Five Ways for Canadian Construction Companies to Build More and Emit Less is the first initiative of its kind in Canada to rigorously measure construction-site emissions and identify high-impact, actionable strategies that can cut carbon while improving efficiency and affordability. This webinar brings the report’s findings to life by connecting its most impactful actions to real major projects. Participants will explore how procurement levers, grid-first site setups, and near-term shifts in fuels and equipment can meaningfully reduce emissions without compromising operational excellence. Moderated by Anya Barkan (Multiplex / CLF Toronto), the discussion features industry leaders Denyse van Opbergen (EllisDon), Prabh Banga (Aecon), and Audrina Lim (Chandos), who will share practical insights from the front lines of Canadian construction.
