The last three years have been a cultural transformation at Mattamy. In both Canada and the United States, our people have adopted sustainability as a core principle, integral to how we think and work and embedded in every aspect of our strategy and operations.

This transformation occurred at a time when many organizations, seeing the headwinds facing sustainability and efforts to reduce global GHG emissions, took their foot off the gas. At Mattamy, we keep moving forward in our metaphorical electric vehicle.

Our work over the previous years enabled us to strengthen our culture of sustainability, while putting in place the people and systems we needed to track data, refine our strategy and model our plans. And in FY2025 it paid off when we exceeded our first GHG reduction targets across all our divisions, everywhere we operate.

From an operational perspective, appointing national sustainability leads for both Canada and the United States and then providing each of our divisions with a dedicated sustainability manager were also transformative achievements. They opened the door to our pursuit of locally relevant environmental solutions, enabling us to leverage regional cultures and activities in building relationships and developing GHG reduction strategies. Additionally, expanding our personnel and capabilities introduced a step change in our ability to gather data, leverage analytics and employ a data-driven, practical approach to reaching our sustainability goals.

We are now able to move from desktop models to evaluating the impact of our design and product choices on real homes. Sharing this knowledge with peers and suppliers helps them see that there is a realistic pathway to realizing the market benefits of sustainability.

Guided by data, our approach to managing and reducing carbon becomes even more sophisticated. We can now clearly see the difference between energy savings and carbon reduction and are moving to adopt and implement strategies that do both effectively.

Understanding and acting on these distinctions is vitally important to achieving our sustainability goals and our profitability goals.

Energy and cost savings are top of mind for our customers, and meeting their needs remains top of mind for Mattamy. We are committed to identifying opportunities for value creation through sustainable practices. This could be achieved by exceeding code requirements or by building our homes to operate at lower emissions and creating a reduced daily emissions footprint. We will continue to improve the sustainability performance of our homes to ensure they align with customers’ preferences and priorities.

Viewing our activities through this lens will help sharpen our focus on sustainability.
