Our values

In addition to VALGO Environment’s own commitments, we share common values and commitments with all companies within the VALGO Canada Group.

TEAM SPIRIT

At VALGO Canada, we work passionately towards achieving common goals. Through open and respectful communication, each member of our teams collaborates harmoniously and shares their skills, strengthening cohesion and solidarity within the Group. All of this creates a positive, productive, and fulfilling work environment.

AUDACITY

Stepping out of the beaten path, pushing boundaries, going the extra mile every day and innovating to achieve ambitious goals – that's how audacity manifests itself within the VALGO Canada Group! This value encourages and fosters the exploration and implementation of the best possible solution for our customers and partners. It's an undeniable asset for fostering a dynamic company culture focused on progress and willing to adapt to complex situations, such as working in isolated environments, in difficult weather conditions, in restricted or even confined spaces, etc.

TRANSMISSION

We place great importance on sharing experience and knowledge, both within the Group and among sister companies, as well as with all stakeholders in our value chain, including suppliers and customers. Transmission promotes the personal and professional development of our employees, thereby reinforcing cohesion and collective progress, and contributing to the sustainable growth of our company.

COMMITMENT

"An impact-driven company" by nature, VALGO Canada adopts exemplary and voluntary approaches in the service of the environment and puts its technical and scientific expertise at the service of communities and their habitat. This common value, a vector of responsibility and perseverance in the face of challenges, promotes a culture of performance and contributes to the stability and long-term success of the company.

Our ESG Commitment

We work daily on implementing the ESG strategy that we have set for ourselves, which is based on 3 pillars:

The VALGO Canada Group and all its subsidiaries, including VALGO Environment, have placed sustainable development at the heart of their business model. We aim to demonstrate exemplary and voluntary environmental practices every day and to put our technical and scientific expertise at the service of communities and their habitats.”

This approach is articulated around 2 main axes:

 

Climate change mitigation:

Recognizing that everyone must make an effort to limit their impact on the climate, the Group tracks its carbon footprint to control it and reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To achieve this, it has implemented a targeted action plan covering the 3 scopes of its activity. In-situ and on-site treatments.

Avoiding the transportation of contaminated soils off-site, are an example of this.

Implementation of “impactful construction sites”:

As experts in ‘in-situ’ and ‘on-site’ treatments, VALGO Environment strives to minimize the impacts generated by its worksites to the greatest extent possible. Following a ‘zero pollution’ principle, safety is at the heart of the company’s processes, for instance with the performance of safety audits and the reporting of risk situations.

The strength of VALGO Canada lies primarily in its teams. Each employee embodies the Group’s values: teamwork, audacity, transmission, and commitment.

The main pillars of the Group’s social policy are:

  • Promoting equity and diversity
  • Attention to health and safety
  • Access to a range of qualifying training programs
  • Concern for well-being at work

As an engaged company, VALGO Environment takes into account all stakeholders in its decision-making process, including local and first nations. This translates into collaboration and consultation with local and first nations in projects.
