April: Canada’s Greenest Employer

Since we formalized our Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy in 2022, we have been implementing concrete solutions to achieve the goals we outlined in our ESG reports. In April, we were recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for the first time. Achieving these milestones requires collaboration and buy-in from our employees, partners and clients from coast-to-coast, who prioritize the environmental protection of our sites and surrounding communities, and to those that strive to make our offices more sustainable every day.

June: Pride Month

In partnership with ENSEMBLE, we hosted a national conference titled, Pride Month: Understanding the 2SLGBTQI+ Community and How to Be an Ally, on June 27th. The conference was an opportunity for employees to learn and share with each other. We want everyone employed at Pomerleau to feel fully included, safe, and to have equal opportunities to achieve fulfillment and success. To ensure our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy is deployed, we established an advisory committee in 2023.
