CIMA+

Chez CIMA+, nous croyons fermement en la puissance des critères ESG pour façonner un avenir durable. Dans le contexte actuel, les notions d’environnement, de responsabilité sociale et de gouvernance sont bien plus que des concepts et des indicateurs : ce sont nos boussoles pour un monde meilleur et des piliers sur lesquels repose notre engagement envers la durabilité et l'impact social.

Denis Thivierge, président et chef de la direction de CIMA+, a récemment souligné dans une interview avec Le Soleil notre engagement à intégrer les notions ESG dans nos pratiques courantes. « Nous souhaitons réduire de 50 % nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre d’ici 2027 et devenir carboneutre d’ici 2040. C’est notre façon de donner l’exemple et d’inspirer nos clients », a déclaré Denis Thivierge.

Environnement, social et gouvernance (ESG): s’engager collectivement pour un monde durable Dans le paysage actuel, les notions d'ESG – environnement, social et gouvernance – sont devenues des boussoles essentielles pour orienter nos actions vers un avenir durable. En ingénierie, c’est un outil d’analyse de performance incontournable.

Denis Thivierge, notre président CIMA+, s’est entretenu avec Les Affaires pour discuter des collaborations régionales pour aider au recrutement.

Selon l’Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, Montréal est moins touchée par la rareté de main-d’œuvre en génie, mais en région, les défis sont importants. Chez CIMA+, avec nos 2000 employés répartis dans 15 bureaux au Québec uniquement, nous promouvons la collaboration régionale et des stratégies de recrutement innovantes pour surmonter ces obstacles.

Notre approche hybride de travail et nos collaborations interbureaux nous permettent une grande flexibilité, éliminant ainsi les barrières géographiques. Ensemble, en misant sur la collaboration et le recrutement innovant, nous sommes prêts à relever ces défis pour soutenir le développement durable et l’innovation au Québec.

We are honored to share that CIMA+ has received the ACEC-SK Award of Merit for our SaskWater Provincial Regional Water Study. This study identified 44 potential systems, 10 of which were deemed feasible for development in the short-term planning horizon and evaluated in detail. These 10 systems present an opportunity to replace up to 79 existing standalone water treatment plants with 10 regional water treatment plants. These could significantly reduce the total operations and maintenance costs for treating water in Saskatchewan.

You can see the merit video here: https://ow.ly/Y3WW50Qb8R1

Recently, Tom Montgomery, Cian Murphy, P.Eng, Jaime Boutilier, PEng, PMP, and Shahid Pasha attended a thought-provoking luncheon supporting the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 / Musée canadien de l'immigration du Quai 21. The event's highlight was the remarkable presence of Gina P. Cody, C.M., serving as the keynote speaker.

During her speech, Gina Cody, a distinguished CIMA+ Board of Directors member, shared her inspirational immigrant journey. Arriving in Canada in 1951, her family's hard work mirrors the resilience and sacrifice evident in countless immigrant narratives that contribute to shaping our nation's rich and diverse identity. As she eloquently stated, her achievements were “only limited by her dreams.”

Our leaders of the Buildings Group from Alberta and British Columbia met in our Vancouver office on November 15 to complete their regional strategic planning for Western Canada.

Our team is more motivated than ever to pursue the region's growth in promising markets such as decarbonization of buildings, transportation electrification, and public transit. The team also intends to continue developing the laboratory and research facilities market, where we have had the opportunity to shine in recent years. The creation of synergies with CIMA+'s other sectors to meet all our clients' needs was also at the heart of our discussions during the meeting.

It was a real pleasure for the teams to be able to get together and discuss the future and the strategies to be adopted for our sector and for CIMA+. We're ready for 2024-25!

Nos leaders du secteur Bâtiment de l’Alberta et de la Colombie-Britannique se sont réunis dans nos bureaux de Vancouver le 15 novembre dernier afin de compléter la planification stratégique régionale de l’Ouest canadien.

Notre équipe est plus motivée que jamais à poursuivre la croissance de la région dans les secteurs porteurs tels que la décarbonation des bâtiments, l’électrification des transports et le transport collectif. L’équipe compte également continuer de développer le marché de la conception de laboratoires et d’infrastructures de recherche où nous avons eu l’opportunité de rayonner dans les dernières années. La création de synergie avec les autres secteurs de CIMA+ afin de répondre à l’ensemble des besoins de nos clients a aussi été au cœur de nos discussions lors de la rencontre.

Ce fut un réel plaisir pour les équipes de pouvoir se réunir et d’échanger sur l’avenir et les stratégies à adopter pour notre secteur et pour CIMA+. Nous sommes prêts pour 2024-25!

Attending the 10th Annual Dinner at the Carlu, hosted by the WTS Toronto Area Chapter, holds immense significance for women and men in the transportation industry. This event signifies a decade of progress, emphasizing the importance of driving change and creating opportunities for all.

Au Canada, les émissions liées au transport représentent environ un tiers de toutes les émissions. Avec l’adoption de la Loi sur la responsabilité en matière d’émissions nettes zéro, le Canada s’est engagé à atteindre le seuil d’émissions nettes zéro d’ici 2050, et l’électrification des transports est un moyen nécessaire pour y parvenir.

CIMA+ est particulièrement bien positionnée pour aider les entreprises et les collectivités à atteindre ces objectifs. Nous avons réalisé des centaines de projets d’électrification à grande échelle, dont plus de 1000 bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques, plus de 20 flottes de transport public et l’électrification de nombreuses flottes de transport privé.

Découvrez comment CIMA+ soutient les entreprises dans leur transition vers l’électrification des transports grâce à des études de faisabilité, à la conception de bâtiments, à des bornes de recharge, à la gestion du changement et bien plus encore.

Électrification des transports - https://ow.ly/wnHP50Q87b8

In Canada, transportation-related emissions make up about one third of all emissions. With the adoption of the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, Canada is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and electrifying transportation is a necessary means to achieve this.

CIMA+ is uniquely positioned to help companies and communities achieve these goals. We have completed hundreds of large-scale electrification projects including over 1000 EV charging stations, more than 20 public transit fleets and the electrification of many private transportation fleets.

Learn more about how CIMA+ supports businesses transition to transportation electrification with feasibility studies, building design, charging stations, change management and more.
