Contributions to the Future of Energy and Climate Change
At Land Systems–Canada, we are committed to helping stop climate change by advancing our sustainability agenda, which includes energy reduction. We have proudly established an Energy Team that helps generate new initiatives for energy reduction at our sites.
In 2020, General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada’s main office building and central manufacturing facility in London, Ontario, became ISO 50001-certified. This certification aligns with General Dynamics’ commitment to reduce its global environmental impact, decrease costs and remain competitive.
The ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems Standard is recognized internationally and gives organizations a structured framework to manage energy performance, efficiency, use and consumption. In addition, it complements a management system, already achieved, for environmental matters that is compliant with the current edition of ISO 14001.
We also are pursuing energy efficiency in our products. Land Systems-Canada has designed and built and continues to test and evolve an electric, hybrid and other modes of power generation and distribution to the Light Armoured Vehicle platform.
In 2022, we joined other leading companies in establishing a greenhouse gas goal of lowering emissions by 40% by 2034.
These are just some of the ways we’re doing our part for the environment. We are continually looking for methods to be energy-efficient and lower our consumption.
