How much of Fortis's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Fortis reported a total waste generation of 1,020 metric tonnes, of which 51.96% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Fortis is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has Fortis reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2019, Fortis's total waste generation increased by 72.88%, including a 2% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.

Over the same period, Fortis's waste recovery rate increased by 80.33%, but declined by 14.82% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.

Overall, Fortis’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
