When creating the Open Joist TRIFORCE® product, we modeled the manufacturing process on the Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing (ECM) model, which focuses on the most efficient and productive use of raw materials and natural resources, as well as minimizing any adverse impacts on workers or the natural environment.
A word from the management
Become a model in the field of construction manager
We believe that protecting the environment must be a priority for any organization that believes in a sustainable future for our society. Since we require raw materials ourselves, in order to continue our activities, we have an obligation to do everything in our power to increase the quality of the environment. By improving our environmental balance sheet, we ensure our own quality of life, and that of future generations, at the same time.
Thanks to this environmental policy, we have formally committed to our employees, our clients and society at large, to reinforcing the environmental culture. By making all parties involved aware of the importance of protecting the environment, we aspire to act as models in the area of responsible construction.
We have always believed that actions are the true test of environmental commitment: an action plan will promote sustainable development by the multiplication of concrete measures taken in the course of our activities.
Lastly, this environmental policy allows us to supply services that take into account the need to avoid actions that may have a negative impact on the health of people or the environment.
Conscious of our social and environmental responsibility, we have long since ensured that our activities are in conformity with the principles of sustainable development, in order to reduce our ecological footprint to the point where any pressure we put on the environment is minimized. The pursuit of this mission must be reinforced in the future, and we count on doing so by achieving the following precise environmental goals:
Responsible economic activities
- Promoting economic activities that are, above all, responsible;
- Ensuring that our economic activities respect the principles of sustainable development and environmental protection;
- Encouraging our supplies to adhere to ecologically responsible practices.
3R-E: reducing, recycling, reusing, eliminating
- Reducing at source, recycling or reusing materials to ensure optimal use of raw materials;
- Minimizing the use and waste of water;
- Managing waste and dangerous materials efficiently and responsibly, from procurement to elimination.
- Maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring that employees are aware of the need for ecological consumption of energy;
- Applying measures to save energy by favouring the purchase of energy-efficient equipment.
- Promoting a climate of dialogue between partners, employees and management;
- Developing business relationships that respect sustainable development.
To pursue our mission to use energy produced mainly by renewable sources in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions related to our energy consumption.
We recognize our responsibility toward society and, since it began its activities, has been fully conscious of the impact of its activities on the environment. Being preoccupied by the quality of its products and the well-being of its clients, the company is concerned about the future for both. It therefore wishes to act as a model of sustainable development, leading to a change in behaviour.
Responsible energy management will be given priority thanks to an environmental perspective oriented toward the use of renewable energy and strategic information.
The principle of energy efficiency must be implemented by means of rigorous measures, essential to company mobilization:
- Prioritize energy coming from the solar wall and pursue implantation of clean energy in our facilities;
- Anticipation of energy losses by means of IT support that calculates and fluctuations;
- Increasing awareness among employees about efficient energy use;
- Inter-facility collaboration, thus creating a network for the
