Bimbo Canada is transforming decarbonization commitments into measurable operational results through a nationwide energy management and electrification strategy. More than 100 projects have reduced energy consumption, eliminated market-based electricity emissions, and made Bimbo Canada the owner of more ENERGY STAR® Certified industrial facilities than any company in Canada. By combining proven efficiency measures with innovative technologies such as electric boilers, electric shunting, and real-time AI-driven energy analytics, Bimbo Canada is creating a practical roadmap to net zero.

Grounded in our commitment to Canadian manufacturing, Canada Goose’s Manufacturing Facility Electrification Program is a multi-year initiative focused on decarbonizing our operations. The program replaced natural gas-powered heating systems with electric heat pumps across our Canadian manufacturing facilities, addressing one of our largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Since inception, the program has reduced natural gas consumption by 45% and associated Scope 1 emissions by 42%, advancing progress toward our target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030. With over $7 million invested, the initiative demonstrates our commitment to climate action and operational decarbonization.

Gateway Co-op, in partnership with Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), led the Gateway Co-op Reclaimed Mass Timber Store Initiative in Sturgis, Sask. This initiative involved designing and constructing a 12,682 sq ft food, bakery and liquor store using reclaimed nail‑laminated timber (NLT) sourced from decommissioned Prairie grain elevators. The project demonstrates that low-carbon retail construction can be delivered in rural markets at a cost comparable to conventional methods. By integrating prefabrication, high-performance building systems, and material reuse, the initiative reduces greenhouse gas emissions, diverts waste from landfill and establishes a scalable model for sustainable retail development across the Co‑operative Retailing System (CRS).

Gay Lea Foods has built a structured, facility-level decarbonization program that is delivering measurable reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. The program demonstrates how practical, scalable interventions can drive sustained emissions reductions in complex food manufacturing environments.

Kruger Products Inc. is advancing its Reimagine 2030 strategy through a comprehensive Energy & Facilities Decarbonization Program. In 2025, the company undertook significant initiatives at its Sherbrooke and Crabtree, Quebec facilities, including ISO50001 certification, heat recovery, and energy-efficient upgrades, collectively targeting substantial reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption. These integrated projects emphasize energy efficiency, heat recovery, and operational optimization to advance sustainability and reduce carbon intensity.

This major infrastructure initiative transforms everyday workspaces and factories into eco-efficient hubs powered by 100% renewable energy. Guided by green building LEED certifications and distinguished RECYC-QUÉBEC waste-management credentials, the project eliminates carbon emissions while optimizing resources. It stands as a powerful, actionable blueprint for facilities seeking to achieve total environmental decarbonization.

Royal Bank of Canada is accelerating decarbonization of its Canadian retail network through our Branch Retrofit Program, committing to electrification of fossil fueled HVAC systems by 2035. By executing at scale to achieve long term durable impacts, RBC demonstrates that ambitious emissions reduction through electrification is achievable today, positioning the bank and this initiative as a catalyst for meaningful climate action in commercial real estate.

Refrigeration is one of the largest sources of operational greenhouse gas emissions in food retail and a cornerstone of Sobeys’ Climate Action Plan. Since 2019, Sobeys has reduced emissions from refrigeration leaks by 37.83%, including an 8.29% year-over-year reduction in 2025, through refrigeration modernization, lower-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants and improved system design. Sobeys is embedding lower-emission refrigeration technologies into new stores and major renovations while demonstrating innovative solutions that can be scaled across its operations.
