Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental, Social and Governance [ESG]

At EfficiencyOne, we believe a sustainable future starts with our actions today. For over a decade, we have integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into our operations, demonstrating our commitment to ethical practices.  

In 2025, we set bold targets and measured our impact over time to inspire greater change. Join us as we continue to drive meaningful progress for a better tomorrow.

Environmental

At EfficiencyOne, our mission is to transform the way people use energy, driving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We recognize that environmental sustainability is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and we are committed to measuring our impact.  

Our Environmental metrics and targets are centered on emissions reductions – helping Nova Scotians lower their energy costs while shrinking their carbon footprint.  

Over the past year, EfficiencyOne programs have continued to make a big impact:

Social

At EfficiencyOne, we recognize that Nova Scotia is a diverse and dynamic community, and we are committed to reflecting that diversity across our organization. From our Board of Directors to our leadership team and frontline staff, we strive to build an inclusive, high-performing workforce that drives industry transformation.  

Beyond our people, we are deeply engaged in the communities we serve – developing programs that meet diverse needs and fostering growth opportunities for Nova Scotia.  

Our Social metrics focus on these two key areas: empowering our employees and making a meaningful impact in our communities:

Governance

Strong governance is the foundation of our success at EfficiencyOne. We are committed to accountability, effective decision-making, and legal compliance while integrating ESG considerations into our operations. Our governance framework ensures that ESG factors are actively monitored, implemented, and reported.  

Focused on three key themes – safety, data security, and governance – we have established clear metrics and targets to uphold standards of integrity and responsibility:

Looking Forward

Behind the scenes a lot of work has gone into updating policies, strategies, and work plans to help us make progress on our annual ESG targets. We are proud of our results over the past few years and are committed to making further progress this year.
