TRC has been setting and achieving goals to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions since 2015. In 2022 we announced our commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2040 for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, with interim 2030 targets. Emissions are verified annually by a third-party and are publicly reported annually in our Sustainability Report, through CDP and through various supplier screening venues as requested by clients. We align our reporting with the TCFD recommendations and reference ISSB IFRS S2 and GRI standards.
We have developed a transition plan to accelerate our progress that includes the following focus areas:
- Enhance energy management and reduce our physical footprint.
- Purchase 100% renewable energy for our offices, starting in FY23.
- Optimize fleet, including use of lower-emitting fuels and electrification.
- Optimize business travel to ensure a reduced carbon footprint.
- Prioritize sustainable procurement practices.
We provide thought leadership and services to help our clients develop decarbonization strategies aligned with the Paris Agreement goal of staying under 1.5°C, while building resiliency and catalyzing system change for energy equity. Our services include advising, design and construction in renewable energy and energy storage, energy efficiency, fleet electrification, advisory and implementation services related to fuel switching and emerging climate technologies (e.g., hydrogen, biomass, RNG, CCUS, etc.), GHG mitigation and decarbonization strategies, resiliency and adaptation planning, sustainable infrastructure, data verification and digital solutions. Our Sustainability Report highlights our project work in the energy transition and climate space, aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals #7, #9, #11 and #13.
