Construction, redefined.
We are redefining our industry, and it's our people who are leading this change.
Strategy, direction, and even purpose can change over time, but great values are permanent.
We want our employees to have the confidence to express and apply their unique innovations and expertise. We also believe in partnering collaboratively with our clients so together we can innovate beyond the boundaries traditionally associated with construction.
Our Values
Freedom & Trust
We hire the best and then give our people the freedom to decide how they accomplish their work and make our clients and each other successful.
Complete Openness
We share everything about our company with our people, in order to maximize their knowledge, understanding, and ability to achieve. The best and most satisfying work is done when everyone sees and understands the whole picture.
Mutual Accountability
We empower people, not processes, and deliver on our commitments to each other, which makes us extremely fast, fluid, and flexible. Mutual accountability at EllisDon runs in every direction – down, up and sideways.
Entrepreneurial Enthusiasm
We create opportunities, innovate continuously, and refuse to be constrained by conventional thinking. We also understand that the people closest to the action are the ones who often have the most innovative ideas.
Integrity & Mutual Respect
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards and treat everyone the way we would like to be treated.
Our Commitment
Safety
We believe everyone should go home safe to their families every night.
As a company that believes in safety not as a matter of business but of integrity, EllisDon is committed to developing a strong safety culture, eliminating injuries, and protecting and maintaining the complete well-being of each employee as well as the health and safety of the communities we work in. See how we incorporate Health & Safety into everything we do
Sustainability
Sustainability is woven into everything we do.
Success to us means investing in our collective futures. As a world-leading construction and building services company, EllisDon is committed to reducing GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 and achieving net-zero by 2050 or sooner. We recently published our 2022 Impact Report highlighting how we are on our way to meeting these objectives. From the materials we choose to our production methods and intelligent use of design and technology, we’re aiming for net zero emissions by 2050 in everything we build. See our Corporate Sustainability mandate here
Diversity & Inclusion
We welcome people from all walks of life.
No matter your age, culture, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, race, size, mental or physical status, veteran status, religion, language, political opinion, socio-economic status, or education, if you’re passionate about what you do, there’s a place for you at EllisDon. See how we’re living Inclusivity across our company
Indigenous Relations
We take things a step further by seeking to empower underrepresented groups.
Understanding the challenges faced by Canada’s Indigenous Peoples, developing mutually beneficial relationships, and becoming actively involved in their communities and economic growth. Learn how we're positively impacting Indigenous Relations across communities
Community
We live in the communities we build in and are actively involved in helping them thrive.
Contributing positively to any community we work in and understanding their unique needs is one of our most important values. While we’re a large company, our foundational initiatives are often driven by the causes close to individual employees’ hearts. Learn more about our Initiatives
