Safety, Environment, Sustainability, AND Governance

Industrial construction is inherently a hazardous, high-risk business. ICT Industrial is committed to excellence through ethical and responsible actions, the ability to think critically and solve problems, take initiative, and strive for excellence in executing work.

Safety

Our greatest asset is the talented and dedicated workforce that we have assembled over the years. Our operations complete over 1 million man-hours annually, and our safety program is the underlying factor in our organization’s success. ICT Industrial’s management is steadfast in its commitment to provide the resources and leadership required to ensure that HSE goals and objectives are met, and continuous improvement in reaching these goals is pursued by means of assigning roles and responsibilities to all management, workers, subcontractors and employees while performing work. ICT Industrial is committed to complying with all applicable government legislation and our own health and safety standards and we account for providing the appropriate safety measures in bids for potential projects.

ICT Industrial’s targeted goal for safety is zero incidents and injuries. HSE performance is tracked and measured through:

      • Incidents and near misses
      • First Aids
      • Inspections and Audits completed
      • Corrective actions
      • Employee training
      • Worker participation
      • Areas where remedial action is needed

ICT Industrial conducts its operations in accordance with environmental best practices, specifically:

  • Identifying environmental risks and specific environmental needs
  • Evaluating environmental performance
  • Considering the impact of products on the environment

Indigenous Engagement

ICT Industrial supports and is committed to the meaningful engagement and inclusion of Indigenous communities on projects located in their territories and/or ancestral homelands. This includes the inclusion of Indigenous stakeholders in the planning and execution of projects, while also acknowledging and respecting the traditions, cultural practices, and vested interest in the health & prosperity of the land and communities ICT Industrial works in.

Suppliers & Sub-Contractors

Priority consideration is given to suppliers, contractors, and/or local joint ventures which are Indigenous Owned businesses (≥51%).

Employment

Part of the active, meaningful engagement of Indigenous communities in the construction industry is the establishment, inclusion, and continuing development of Indigenous workers in all positions: skilled trades, supervision, general administration, project management, and corporate/head office roles.

ICT Industrial not only recruits individuals in the industry who self-identify as Indigenous individuals but also engages with indigenous community leaders to create opportunities for interested individuals and groups to be introduced to and join the construction industry through apprenticeships, formal training, and/or informal/on-the-job training. The goal of this approach is twofold: provide near-term employment opportunities to individuals and assist with the long-term value and sustainable growth of Indigenous communities.

      Community Engagement

      Similar to its approach with Indigenous communities, ICT Industrial aims to cultivate meaningful engagement the population at large in the communities surrounding its project sites. In addition to opportunities for local businesses and the direct employment of individuals, ICT Industrial believes in going further to help establish a positive relationship between the community, ICT Industrial, and the operators of the facilities being constructed.

      Where possible, ICT Industrial looks to establish a lasting impact in adjacent communities. This may include a variety of initiatives, such as:

      • Working with local high schools and/or trade schools to provide an introduction to the construction industry and/or apprenticeship roles respectively
      • Contributing to and/or establishing permanent community infrastructure
      • Sponsorship of/Donation to community organizations (Food Banks, Youth Sports, Community Outreach/Assistance, etc.)

      Organizationally, this engagement and involvement is also encouraged at the individual level. ICT Industrial personnel are expected to generate a positive impact in the local community, both economically and optically, through their behavior/interactions with the community and the re-investment of project resources in local businesses.

      Sustainability

      Both in its service offerings and its day-to-day operations, ICT Industrial believes in and works to ensure/manage the sustainability of its business, the industries it services, its clients, local community, and society at large.

      ICT Industrial works with all vested parties to ensure the potential and realized negative impacts of its work activities, the facilities constructed, and its general business operations are minimized. Pursuit of projects related to Renewables, Carbon Capture, Water Treatment, and Waste Heat Recovery are a large part of ICT Industrial’s business focus. In addition, ICT Industrial has made significant progress in associated technologies to enhance its clients’ ability to operate their facilities sustainably into the future.
