We're committed to building a better REIT. And to us, that means giving back to the communities where we live, work, shop, and play across Canada. We live this commitment every day, from our support for the causes we've chosen to champion, to the way we build and manage our portfolio.
There are people in our communities who need a helping hand to overcome challenges that impact their daily lives. Crombie is committed to working with organizations that help people realize their full potential.
Sustainability Matters
We're proud of the Crombie team's dedication that has led to BOMA Best awards for several of our buildings. We commit to sustainability with the purpose of building a better future for our earth, but it is nice to be rewarded for that commitment.
Our Environmental Sustainability Commitment ensures that environmental sustainability is part of our everyday decision-making processes and business practices. It also means that we're working to foster a corporate culture where every employee values the environment and understands their role preserving it. Read our Commitment document here.
All of the new-build designs in our retail properties meet LEED equivalent standards.
We continue to earn and upgrade BOMA Best certifications for our properties.
Total energy saved since we began the process of greening our office buildings in 2008.
Scotia Square
All of our Scotia Square properties hold BOMA Best Gold Certifications.
Since we began greening our Scotia Square property in 2008, we have reduced energy consumption by more than 12 million kWh/year and water use by 35 million gallons. More than 500,000 pounds of cardboard and paper are recycled every year, and the Halifax Cycling coalition has twice named us Halifax's Most Cycling-Friendly Landlord.
Crombie cares about the communities in which we live and operate. And it’s important to all of us that we do our part to help build better communities. So we support important social causes, commit to a cleaner environment, and build and manage our portfolio for today and tomorrow.
