Our Places
We understand the continued need to significantly reduce, and eventually eliminate, the negative impacts that our buildings have on the environment. Our approach prioritizes energy management, water management, and sustainable development. In 2023, we achieved the following:
- Realized a 15.8% reduction in our GHG emissions from our 2019 baseline and a 21.6% reduction in our GHG emissions intensity from the baseline.
- Decreased absolute water withdrawal by 0.5% over our baseline year, and our water use intensity decreased by 11.8%.
- Introduced capital improvements, including several envelope and window upgrades, boiler replacements, building automation system optimization, and LED lighting controls

Our People
Boardwalk’s success is driven by our people - our Associates operating in our communities and offices across the country. We are committed to providing a safe, happy, and healthy working and living environment for everyone. We focus on treating everyone equally and with respect, ensuring this culture is reflected in the communities we build. Our efforts are centred on:
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We strive to create a sense of belonging in the workplace. Building an inclusive, fair, and respectful environment where everyone’s perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences are valued is essential for our people and our business.
- Professional Development: We take a personalized approach to career development, enabling Associates to grow and thrive. This includes in-house training, mentorship programs, reimbursement for external training, and more.
- Associate Engagement, Rewards, and Recognition: We prioritize attracting and nurturing diverse talent. In 2021, we implemented an employee “net promoter score” (eNPS) to assess and improve employee satisfaction, similar to how we evaluate our Resident Members' satisfaction. Boardwalk offers various opportunities for Associates to be recognized throughout the year and to engage with their colleagues and the community.
