Net Zero Strategy – Cocktail International Group Inc.

From Awareness To Action

Climate change means we all need to adapt how we live and do business if there is to be a sustainable world for future generations.

At Cocktail International Group Inc., we recognize not only the urgency of the immediate situation, but also the long-term systemic nature of the crisis. That is why we are making both a fundamental strategic shift now and a longer-term commitment to achieving future change.

This year marks a new chapter for our company. Our revised company strategy, in line with the Canadian Government, has NetZero at its heart. Our mission is ‘To drive sustainable growth and prosperity at the grass root level, and to enable the transition to a net zero economy, by introducing environment friendly practices across our businesses.’ This is mirrored in our new objective:

 ‘To support Canada’s transition to a net zero economy’.

NetZero 2030 – Roadmap To Zero Carbon Operations

 Cocktail has set a company target of Net Zero Carbon across all 3 Scopes by 2030. Due to the nature of our operations – we do not directly purchase energy or fuel – our Scope 1 & 2 emissions are already zero. We are therefore focusing our Net Zero Carbon Strategy on the  areas primarily within Scope 3.

Getting our industry to achieve Net Zero Carbon means everyone needs to work together for the common goal of saving our planet. We want to be at the center of the change that needs to happen, working with our customers and partners to shape the built environment for the better. We will work with our clients, consultants and supply chain to influence change within the design and specification of every project we are involved in.
