Paving the way towards
a sustainable future.
The Shaw Group is committed to meeting the needs of our employees, clients, and the communities in which we live by conducting business in a manner that considers social and environmental impacts. This is achieved by ensuring the projects we service, the partners we work with, and the organizations and charities we support share similar values that aim to progress sustainability.
Environmental Sustainability
Within the last decade, Shaw has become a key player within the renewables sector, supporting the delivery of projects that reduce carbon dioxide and overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These projects include renewable fuels, blue and green hydrogen, plastics and waste conversion, and more. Our highly efficient modularization capabilities and strategically placed fabrication facilities with direct access to roads and waterways allow for a reduction in total project construction energy usage and consolidates shipments to the project site, resulting in further reduction in energy usage and GHG emissions.
In addition, The Shaw Group prides itself on its robust Environmental Management Program comprised of various initiatives that adhere to environmental regulatory requirements set by all levels of government. Implemented by each Shaw location, these initiatives include, but are not limited to, fuel and waste management, spill prevention, clean up, and reporting (SPCC), as well as inspection and monitoring.
Social Sustainability
The Shaw Group promotes social sustainability through its policies on diversity and inclusion, equity and equality, community involvement, health and safety, and human rights. By fostering an environment of respect, and prioritization of people, culture, and safety, these guiding principles, along with our remaining core values, lead to positive employee engagement and strong community relationships. Our community involvement spans a multitude of organizations and missions, as shown below.
