Let's Talk Green! 🌍 Inclusive Green Growth Talk: Data-Driven Solutions Towards Net Zero 🌱 In the race to achieve Net Zero, addressing embodied carbon is crucial. It’s the hidden carbon footprint embedded in building materials and construction processes, and tackling it is key to sustainable development. With our esteemed panelists, we will explore cutting-edge, data-driven tools that streamline carbon footprint reduction throughout the entire building life cycle, from materials to design practices. By focusing on insetting strategies, alongside offsetting where necessary, and leveraging technology and smart solutions, we can directly reduce environmental impact, paving the way for a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future. #NetZero #EmbodiedCarbon #SustainableInnovation #InclusiveInnovation #KitCarbon #SCG

I’m pleased to announce the publication of Windmill Development Group's first official Sustainability Report. It follows our Sustainability Strategy, published in May 2023, and details our current sustainability strategy, commitments, targets, action plan, and progress to date. Over the past year, we’ve focused on three key areas as part of our sustainability strategy: governance, innovation and partnerships. I’m proud of the significant advancements we’ve made in these areas and would like to highlight three impactful accomplishments from the past year: 1.     In 2023, we were officially endorsed as a One Planet Living Global Leader, making us the first company in North America to receive this prestigious endorsement by Bioregional, the UK-based body which oversees One Planet Living. 2.     Through our Working Group program, we continued to refine and improve the Windmill Impact Standard, establishing ambitious short- and long-term carbon targets for both operational and embodied carbon, and imposing rigorous carbon targets on our projects, including the elimination of combustion for cooking, space heating, or hot water. 3.     Through our partnership with Civic Developments and CreateTO, the City of Toronto’s real estate agency, we are collaborating to address Canada’s housing crisis through our project at 2444 Eglinton Ave E. This project will be the largest co-operative housing development undertaken in Ontario in the past 25 years, delivering much needed affordable housing that will also be built to the highest sustainability standards. Many thanks to our team for putting together this impressive report, specifically to all the hard work that Urban Equation has done to help us drive innovation on both corporate and project levels.

The Windmill Group of Companies' 2023 Sustainability Report is officially live on our website. This instalment is the first year where reporting out on our progress included, and builds on last year's sustainability strategy. Urban Equation is privileged to belong to such a progressive group of companies and to be able to lead the development and implementation of the sustainability strategy. If you like what you see, reach out. We can help you no matter what stage of your sustainability journey you are at. Some highlights for me this year include: 1) Aggressive intensity targets for operational and embodied carbon. Urban Equation helped quantify the emissions, set the targets, and is building out the roadmap to achieve them. 2) A One Planet Action Plan that was reviewed and endorsed as putting us in a global leadership position. You can quickly see that action plan in the appendix. Urban Equation created the action plan and successfully sought endorsement from Bioregional. 3) Partnerships with Mass Timber providers, and early adoption of low carbon concrete technologies as a means to have an immediate impact on our upfront embodied carbon emissions. Urban Equation provides life cycle analysis to all Windmill projects. 4) Last but not least, Urban Equation's role in the industry as a disseminator of Windmill Development's institutional knowledge of zero carbon, deeply sustainable, and socially progressive real estate.
