The AIL Group is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and being a market leader in low-carbon solutions that support biodiversity.
We have a “Net Zero by 2050” target. We measure key parts of our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, and have set interim milestone emission targets.
We have added on-site solar generation, improved building envelope energy efficiency and are working with our supply-chain partners and customers to lower carbon footprints.
Offering low-carbon footprint solutions which are supported by third-party-reviewed environmental product declarations and life cycle assessments.
Utilizing a high amount of reusable and recyclable materials.
Understanding and improving life-cycle costs.
Reducing negative biodiversity impacts during construction and service, and regenerating the environment, where possible.
Over 1,000 solar panels and counting: Our on-site renewable energy production decreases our reliance on the power grid.Recycled steel with naturally weathering finish: Steel bridges offer a lower carbon footprint than concrete beam bridges. With a naturally weathering finish, no oil-based coating is used. This reduces toxic emissions of volatile organic compounds. Plus, not having to do periodic paint maintenance protects habitats from contaminated blast debris.Supporting flood mitigation: Rental detour bridge part of Highway 97 flood mitigation strategy in Northeastern BC.
