Environmental Sustainability at CIBC Mellon
Employee comfort and wellbeing is always a priority at CIBC Mellon. By moving our corporate headquarters to 1 York Street in Toronto, we were able to combine aspects that enhance both employee wellbeing and environmental sustainability. Our team cares about the environment, whether it be the environment found in our office or in nature. We have realized a number of environmental sustainability benefits since moving to the new location, including:
- 18 per cent reduction in light energy
- 46.79 per cent reduction in water use
- 87.6 per cent of waste diversion from the landfill
- 41.9 per cent of construction materials included recycled content
- 91 per cent of the wood-based products used in construction were Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified
- 61 per cent of the materials used in building the office were manufactured regionally
