Here are some of the reasons why Ivanhoé Cambridge Inc. was selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers (2023):
- Ivanhoé Cambridge has set LEED Gold-certification standard as the minimum target for all new office building constructions, tracks electricity and water consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions and over half of its office building portfolio is LEED-certified (varying levels) -- the company has also set the goal of achieving net-zero carbon by 2040
- Ivanhoé Cambridge encourages head office employees to ride to work through bicycle tune-up clinics and a repair station, indoor bike parking for up to 150 bicycles (and in the winter, half of the parking area is converted into a bike training room), a shared-use bike station out front (free access for employees during the workday) -- and an umbrella loan program for employees heading out for a walk on rainy days
- Ivanhoé Cambridge conducts annual waste audits (conducted by external environmental consultants) at all of its property locations and has achieved waste diversion rates increasing from 43 per cent in 2010 to 61 per cent in 2019
