Teachers’ owns The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited, one of North America's largest investors, owners and managers of commercial real estate. Cadillac Fairview is an award-winning leader in sustainable business practices within the real estate industry.

Cadillac Fairview’s GREEN AT WORK™ strategy, which applies to all properties across Canada, sets operational benchmarks to reduce energy consumption and waste, improve environmental protection, encourage sustainable procurement and maintain communication with key stakeholders. The company was one of the first to convert several Toronto office buildings to Enwave’s Deep Lake-Water Cooling system that dramatically reduces energy consumption and emissions. Today, all of Cadillac Fairview’s major office towers and retail shopping centres across Canada have achieved the Building Owners and Managers Association’s (BOMA) BESt green building certification. Many Cadillac Fairview properties have attained LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the internationally-accepted measurement for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. Others are actively pursuing the designation. Cadillac Fairview’s RBC Centre in downtown Toronto is the first major (more than 1 million square feet) triple-A office building to be built to LEED Gold NC standards in Canada. The NC designation is a comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability, where both the landlord and the tenant contribute to operating efficiencies, and all benefit from related savings. The property features: › automated systems for lighting and windows › floor-to-ceiling insulated glass for greater natural light › water collection and high-efficiency recycling systems › low-emitting materials › biofuel emergency generators providing 100 per cent back-up power to all electrical systems
