Social Responsibility & Sustainability Report 2015
Environment Performance Measures New waterfront communities aim to be among the most sustainable in the world, delivering a lasting legacy as a model for future community development. Waterfront Toronto's commitment to develop sustainable communities includes contaminated soil management, protecting and enhancing the natural environment, mandating sustainable energy practices and green building, reducing water use, and increasing waste diversion. We hope that our work will create momentum for a shift away from business as usual to a new and more sustainable way of doing things in Toronto and worldwide.

Revitalization is about putting people first: creating functional, sustainable, and beautiful communities that offer a high quality of life for all who live and work there. Our waterfront neighbourhoods are carefully designed to connect with the rest of the city through access to transit, parks, open spaces, pedestrian promenades, cycling lanes, and a diverse range of services and amenities. These land use decisions will mean sustainable choices are easy and convenient for residents, employees, and visitors to make. Each waterfront community will also contain a mix of uses, including residential, commercial, retail, and institutional as well as affordable housing to bring diversity and vibrancy to each neighbourhood. We plan and design with high levels of stakeholder engagement to ensure that what we build is what people want. We also participate in various campaigns such as our annual fundraising for the United Way, which helps to strengthen our communities by improving social conditions for hundreds of thousands of Toronto residents.
