Environmental: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Rethink: • Over 98.5% of waste materials are diverted from landfill and are recycled or reused • Remaining 1.5% of non-recyclable material is sent for energy recovery at an Energy from Waste facility where steam is generated to produce electricity • Facility continues to maintain its "landfill-free" status for production wastes (since 2008)

Renewable Energy: • An onsite co-generation plant using renewable landfill gas that will generate electricity and thermal energy to power and heat the facility is being constructed and will be in operation in 2020. The project will: • Reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 77% • Lower energy electrical costs and natural gas consumption • Power approximately 32% of the plant with clean energy – the most of any of GM’s global propulsion operations worldwide • Serve as ’s first complete renewable landfill gas industrial co- generation system that will deliver renewable landfill gas from an offsite source and distribute it via a dedicated pipeline to a co-generation plant located at a large industrial facility

• Three 2,650-ton chillers are cooled by gravity-fed water eliminating the need for cooling towers and condenser pump infrastructure and their associated energy costs (2012) • Annual savings of 8,600 MWH plus associated water and chemical savings • Peak electrical demand reduction is >1500 kW in summer months • Since 2014, GM has replaced over 4,500 inefficient 458W High Intensity Discharge lights with low energy 120W Light Emitting Diodes (LED) fixtures complete with occupancy sensors. Additionally, outdated T12 fluorescent lights were replaced with higher efficiency T8 fluorescents in the office areas.

Climate Change/Greenhouse Gas Reduction Initiatives: • Planted more than 10,000 trees and hundreds of native plants on the property • Takes part in "Earth Hour" each year where all non-essential lights and signs at the facility are turned off and employees are encouraged to participate at home

Community Involvement: • ECOSTEM – 4 years o Partnered with and the District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) Academy • World Environment Day – 3 years o Planted thousands of plants and trees on site and in the community with community partners such as the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) and Land Care Niagara (LCN)

Partnerships: • Niagara College Ecosystem Restoration (ER) Post-Graduate Program (host for student field projects) - 8 years Updated: May 6, 2020 by Samantha Hoodless

• Niagara College Environmental Management and Assessment (EMA) Post-Graduate Program (support plant tour and presentation) – 8 years • Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) – 5 years • District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) Academy

Environmental Representation in the Community: • Niagara Region Waste Management Advisory Committee - 8 years

Community • $287,520 donated to the United Way including $50,000 Plant City Grant Program Outreach: donation (2019) • $75,000 donated to local charities through Plant City Grant Program (2019) • Recognized for contributing 1/3 of all funds raised in the past 65 years for United Way Niagara - $31,392,353 as of 2019 • $20,488 raised through employee-led fundraisers and gate collections for: Start Me Up Niagara’s Coldest Night of the Year, YWCA for No Fixed Address, Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Day, Movember Foundation of Canada, Unifor’s Toonie Tuesday & Christmas Gate Collections, and the Adopt-a-Family Christmas Campaign (2019) • Have participated in annual Take Our Kids to Work Day initiative for over 22 years (started in 1996)
