MBC Group’s Green Site Initiative If you follow us on LinkedIn, you’ll already know about our green site initiative. This was established by Aviva Insurance and is being actioned alongside their preferred restoration vendors and Pro-Claim Restoration. WHAT I S A ‘ G R E E N SI T E ’ ? Green sites are private field level recycling transfer stations which exist to contribute toward a circular economy. These sites allow companies like Aviva Insurance to have the benchmark data to track progress and success. Typically, we are already seeing anywhere from 90% – 96% reusability or recycling of the materials removed from any one project. In the recent catastrophic flooding of BC, green sites were set up in the hardest hit areas to ensure that this initiative is feasible even in emergency situations, which this certainly was. Together we’ve proven that this works. One of the biggest lessons out of this experience is that it takes a village. Several companies achieving independent goals will only get us so far. When we come together, all with goals of a more sustainable and greener future, big problems are that much easier to conquer. SOME R E C E N T F E E DBAC K Leading by example We wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Mike Smith, one of our Senior Environmental Consultants who operates out of our Calgary branch. On a recent insurance file, Mike received impressive feedback from the adjuster. The project involved the post-fire demolition of an indigenous residence, and Mike paid special attention to possible spiritual customs. Mike recognized, without any prompting, the possible need to communicate with the LFN Band Council on any spiritual needs, and the requirement for advising the contractors of special attention to these matters. Sometimes the job requires us to go above and beyond the assignment, and we were beyond pleased that our own staff were taking the time to apply awareness that we should all have. For those who perform work on indigenousowned properties, is this something you have taken the time to consider?
