GREEN AT WORK™

Cadillac Fairview is committed to minimizing our buildings' environmental footprint. All of our Pacific Centre buildings have achieved the Building Owners and Managers Association’s BOMA BESt (Building Environmental Standards) Certification - indicating that our buildings have demonstrated compliance with key measures of good practice in the following areas:
• Resource consumption
• Waste reduction and recycling
• Building materials
• Interior environment
• Tenant awareness

Cadillac Fairview is constantly revising and expanding our definition of what environmental responsibility means within the context of our ever changing business. We are constantly implementing new building operations program and initiatives. We are also dedicated to educating our staff and our tenants on how to be more GREEN AT WORK™. As such, we have several venues to accomplish this - our CF Review newsletter, tenant bulletins, events, this website, etc. to provide and share information on bringing environmental practices to the workplace.
