Building with purpose

At Hopewell Residential, we build homes and communities thoughtfully, through our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies and plans. Guided by our four key values: collaboration, thoughtfulness, accountability, and efficiency, we’re creating a legacy we can all be proud of.

Ethical Practices & Labour Standards

We are dedicated to upholding high standards in ESG practices, while always being fully compliant with the Government of Canada's Act against forced labour and child labour. But our commitment extends beyond compliance. In everything we do, we strive to embody our vision of creating the spaces and places where people love to live, and we do all this while maintaining ethical and responsible business practices.

Environmental

Our designers and planners are committed to reducing waste, supporting biodiversity and minimizing our carbon footprint. We work with other real estate experts and industry committees toward a future that is clean, green and renewable. As an EnerGuide builder, we are continually building on our included and optional home features to support this goal, and as a responsible community developer, we place priority on smart development that always includes abundant natural greenspaces and wetlands.

Social

Since Hopewell Residential began more than 30 years ago, we have supported employees with strong human resource policies and an award-winning culture. In fact, we've been a Canada’s Best Managed Company winner since 2016, and a Canada’s Best Managed Companies Platinum Club Member since 2023. Diverse, multi-faceted and well-supported, our team is truly what brings our vision to life. Beyond this, we prioritize charitable giving, as we know the social fabric of our communities is truly what brings them to life.

Governance

At Hopewell Residential we have a solid governance foundation. We conduct our business with the utmost ethical standards – striving for mutually beneficial results in every business transaction. Our ESG policy outlines where we are today, along with our plans for the future of ESG for Hopewell Residential. It is an ever-evolving initiative that will ensure that Hopewell continues to live up to our corporate vision – creating the spaces and places where people love to live.

Forced Labour Policy

Integrity is at the core of all our business interactions. We are committed to acting ethically and responsibly in our dealings with employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. Our zero-tolerance policy against forced labour and child labour is integral to our operations and supply chain management. We adhere to the highest professional standards, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, codes, and standards governing our business. We hold our suppliers and business partners to these same high standards. Our comprehensive policies are designed to mitigate the risk of forced or child labour within our business and supply chain, including:

Code of Conduct: Outlines our commitment to integrity and ethical business practices, providing guidance on reporting actual or potential misconduct.
Discrimination & Harassment Policy
Workplace Violence Policy
ESG Policy

Through these policies, we foster a work environment that upholds and protects fundamental human rights. It is our ongoing responsibility to implement effective measures to minimize the risk of forced and child labour within our operations, directly or indirectly through our trades and suppliers. By working in partnership with our suppliers, we strive to ensure adherence to these core values, creating a responsible and ethical business environment for all.

Privacy Policy

Our customer relationships are built on trust and respect. Part of that means telling you what information we will require from you, how this information will be handled, and how this information will be kept safe. We know that your personal information is a valued asset and we want you to know that we will treat it that way.
