Investing in Tomorrow

We are committed to a more sustainable future through environmental stewardship, active community engagement, and fostering trusted relationships that embrace diversity and inclusivity.

Clark Builders continues to build on strong, sustainable values and practices, with existing commitments such as Progressive Indigenous Relations, Social Procurement, Community Give Back, and Sustainability.

We are dedicated to ingraining these programs everywhere we operate, but as a company, we strive for more—practicing Environmental Social Governance (ESG) with a focus not only on financial returns, but also on how decisions impact people and our planet.

ESG Plan 2025

The Clark Builders ESG Plan 2025 is a framework to integrate and build on our current programs under one umbrella. Our ESG Plan is built on three pillars consisting of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). Within each pillar, we have defined the most relevant lines of action, commitments and implementation steps that will influence our decision making. Our formalized commitments and actions can be measured and validated by our people, our clients, and our community stakeholders.

We’re proud of the journey we’re on and the progress we are making, and we hope you will join us.

SUSTAINABILITY

We recognize that reducing environmental impact can be achieved in many creative ways, and we have the expertise and experience to help select the alternatives best suited to our clients’ projects. Whether that means reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by retrofitting an existing building, incorporating solar power as an energy alternative, or adopting a low-energy building design, we know how to plan and execute to achieve our clients’ goals.

Our corporate sustainability journey is essential to our long-term success. We provide our teams with training opportunities, strategies for waste and GHG emissions, environmental research and reporting, and other green initiatives to assist in informing and implementing sustainable construction practices across our organization.

INDIGENOUS RELATIONS

We are proud to be a part of community development and growth through the projects and local infrastructure we help build. As a Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) Aboriginal Procurement Champion, Clark Builders is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities throughout all project design, preconstruction, and procurement stages with local hiring and procurement strategies.
