EnerQuality’s Innovation + ESG Day

A dynamic day on the drivers of Net Zero and high-performance homes

Innovation and ESG are front and centre as we explore the opportunity for affordable, comfortable high-performance homes.

ESG (environment, social, governance) is a growing priority among banks, insurance companies, and investors. Emerging technologies are delivering tools to improve efficiency and comfort while maintaining affordability. This day will provide a builder-focused view on the topic. Why is it important? Who cares about it? What does a builder need to know now?

Register today to participate in a two-part session that examines the opportunities and challenges of ESG, highlights innovation in high-performance construction and explores practical solutions to improve your business, builds and communities.

ESG. New expectations. Practical solutions.

For the first time in-person, the Housing Innovation Lounge brings to the stage solution-oriented discussions surrounding emerging opportunities for high-performance building in the Canadian market – ESG.

The Housing Innovation Lounge is a two-hour session focused on ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) practices and reporting led by a panel featuring leading Canadian ESG experts:

  • Sarah Keyes, CEO, ESG Global
  • Graeme Armster, Director Innovation & Sustainability Tridel (Deltera Inc.)
  • Stefanie Coleman, Chief Sustainability Officer, Doug Tarry Homes
  • George Sutherland, Advisor, BMO Climate Institute

We’ll give an introduction to the concept of ESG and outline the market and regulatory changes driving financial markets to decarbonize their portfolios. This represents both opportunity and challenge for developers and builders – growing demand for high-performance building while introducing additional requirements.
