Waste Management

We ensure that our waste is appropriately managed prior to completing all tasks, and prior to handover to our customers.

PTW is committed to meeting these waste management objectives:

• Establish ourselves as a leader in the reduction, reuse, and recycling of our waste while creating an operation that is as waste free as possible.
• Protect human health and the environment from any waste related hazards.
• Minimize the generation of industrial waste through all aspects of design, material selection, production and the use of goods and services.

Emissions

In early 2023, we engaged an independent expert, PwC, to help us compile our first Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory. Our goal was to establish a comprehensive understanding of our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, baseline measurements for setting reduction targets and implementing effective mitigation strategies for the future. The largest source of our emissions (59%) is from mobile combustion, our fleet. One step we are taking this year towards reducing this figure is by actively addressing truck idling times. We are also reviewing our electricity use at each facility to identify where electricity consumption can be optimized.

Impact Management

PTW is committed to mitigating any environmental effects our operations may have on both communities and the environment. We strive to be responsible business citizens by partnering with clients to minimize our overall impact in all business activities. All PTW’s operational areas are expected to represent a responsible, safe and courteous performance.

Examples of managing PTW’s operational impacts include:

• Dust Management
• Traffic Control
