Sustainability
Ever since Mattamy was founded more than 45 years ago, our company has cared deeply about our employees, customers and partners, the communities we create and the world around us. Our ongoing commitment to making a difference with respect to sustainability, and the advances we’ve made in transforming our ambitions into action, are captured in our second annual Sustainability Report.
The Report is the story of our sustainability goals and progress and reflects the collective efforts and dedication of every member of our organization. It features:
- Executive messaging and introductory content
- Our approach to materiality
- Overview of our sustainability pillars and achievements within each of them
- Performance data
Sprinkled throughout are “feature stories” – the specific examples of the amazing and inspiring work our team members are doing, from leading external partnerships to solar and low-carbon concrete initiatives to biodiversity support to community involvement, and much more. We are committed to leading our industry in sustainability and embedding it into everything we do, most significantly working to reduce and eventually eliminate greenhouse gas emissions associated with our business. We look forward to continuing to track and report on our progress in achieving our sustainability goals, and to helping our industry and society deal with the impact of climate change.
Setting our Decarbonization Targets
Mattamy has committed to achieving a 10% GHG reduction in our FY2025 sold homes as compared to code-built homes,1 which is considered a 31% reduction from a typical resale home built in 2005/2006. By setting near-term targets, we aim to drive action and deliver immediate results. We are committed to reporting against these results in 2025.
Message from our Founder
"At Mattamy, we describe our sustainability efforts as a journey. There are many reasons for this – we know the direction we’re heading in, but our route is evolving. We are all moving forward together, though our paces may vary." Peter Gilgan Chairman, CEO & CSO Mattamy Asset Management Founder of Mattamy Homes
Strategic Sustainability Pillars
Mattamy is committed to being a sustainability leader in our industry, and we have set our strategic pillars on that foundation. We are one of the largest homebuilders in North America, and we believe that position comes with a responsibility – to operate in a way that lowers our environmental impact and, by reducing our GHG emissions, helps address the challenge of global climate change. True leadership means building others up, so we are sharing findings and achievements with our peers and competitors while also helping to support their sustainability efforts. We will also keep working to foster a culture that embraces accountability, inclusivity and transparency while staying focused on positively impacting our team members, homebuyers and communities.
