Green Canada, encourages, through the program check-
list, the use of local products—to fully engage builders
in their local economy, while also reducing emissions re-
quired to transport materials from any distance.
Landmark takes its sustainability stewardship a step
further to embrace the final pillar: culture. Landmark has
taken an active role in supporting organizations such as
the Citadel Theatre and Victoria School Foundation—a
group focused on supporting Victoria School, an arts-
centric educational institute. On the former, Landmark
has sponsored the Citadel Theatre since 2006 and is cur-
rently supporting its work in audience development to
address the needs of existing and potential audiences.
Additionally, Landmark sponsors Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra, and supports the Edmonton Opera and the
Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton.
As the world’s population spikes at an exponential
rate, and the repercussions of our collective environmen-
tal footprint continually becomes more obvious and
threatening, we can choose to support those companies
pushing for a societal change towards the sustainable.
Consumers can choose environmental stewardship
when buying their home—and that’s the only way we’ll
see significant change: if consumers levy industry
through market demand.
The spectrum of sustainability Landmark has commit-
ted to is commendable. They’ve taken their responsibility
to sustainable living further than you’re likely to see with
many of their peers. Why? Because as Reza puts it, “If
we leave our children a world which cannot sustain itself,
then we are not only depriving them of what has been,
but also what could have been.”
Bits and pieces of green
Since becoming a Built Green member in 2007, Land-
mark Group of Builders has built more than 2,650
homes—all to a Built Green gold standard.
Landmark Group of Builders have supported more
than 30 non-profit organizations providing support to
sectors including arts and culture, sports, healthcare and
education. Staff at Landmark all receive an hour-long sustainabil-
ity training session as part of their first day orientation,
must complete an online sustainability course, as well
as come out for the company’s annual tree planting day.
In the last few years, Landmark has shut down its oper-
ations and held a full two-day sustainability workshop for
all staff. On the lighter side, staff fully embrace Land-
mark’s commitment to sustainability as evidenced with
organized activities including Climate Jeopardy and bak-
ing chocolate chip cookies in solar ovens.
