CNH brand, Case IH, has announced a new partnership with Meet the Need, a grassroots, farmer-led charity working to tackle food insecurity across New Zealand one meal at a time.

As part of the initiative, $50 from the sale of every new Case IH tractor in New Zealand will be donated to Meet the Need, helping provide meals to families in need through local food banks and community groups.

Founded by farmers, for communities, Meet the Need offers a practical way for the primary sector to give back—donating livestock, milk, or funds to deliver nutritious, protein-rich meals where they are needed most. Since launching in 2020, Meet the Need has already provided over 2.3 million meals to more than 130 food banks and community groups nationwide.

Meet the Need General Manager, Zellara Holden, said the partnership highlights a shared commitment to community support and helping those in need.

“Case IH is a brand we are proud to be associated with,” Zellara said.

“This sponsorship directly supports our mission—getting quality food onto Kiwi tables. When businesses like Case IH stand behind us, it helps create real, lasting change.

“Together, we can help build a better tomorrow for families across Aotearoa.”

Case IH Business Director – Agriculture ANZ, Aaron Bett, said the partnership was a natural extension of the brand’s longstanding commitment to rural New Zealand.

“As a brand deeply rooted in New Zealand’s rural communities, we believe in showing up for the people who support us,” Aaron said.

“Farmers are already doing so much to support their communities, and this is one more way we can stand alongside them—supporting a practical, farmer-led solution that’s making a real difference.”

With the partnership now underway, every new Case IH tractor sold in New Zealand will help nourish a Kiwi family—while the wider Case IH team continues to fundraise and advocate for a more food-secure future.

May 6, 2025 /3BL/ – DP World is celebrating a major sustainability milestone at the Port of Callao, Peru, marking one year since the launch of its electric vehicle charging station and fully electric internal transport vehicle (ITV) fleet. 

Over the past 12 months, the company’s 20 electric trucks traveled more than 740,000 kilometers—the equivalent of 18 zero-emission trips around the world—and successfully avoided more than 2,400 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions.

Unveiled in April 2024, the charging station at DP World’s South Pier Terminal became the first and largest of its kind in Latin America, powered entirely by renewable energy. Equipped with 10 fast chargers delivering 200 kW each, dual-vehicle CCS2-type connectors,. A smart charge management platform further optimizes energy use and tracks CO₂ emissions savings.

Each of the electric ITVs operates with an autonomy of approximately 13 hours, enabling continuous, efficient terminal operations. A full recharge takes just one hour and 20 minutes—helping maintain the terminal’s productivity while significantly reducing its environmental footprint.

The project is a cornerstone of DP World’s broader commitment to cut carbon emissions by 42% globally by 2030, with a more ambitious local goal at Callao to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% within the same timeframe.

“To offset the emissions we avoided this year would require more than 1,000 hectares of the Peruvian Amazon working for a full year,” said Sany Rodríguez, Senior Director of Safety and Environment at DP World Callao. “Our electric charging station has proven to be not only a sustainable solution but also a highly efficient one—optimizing operational times, improving air quality, and eliminating noise pollution at the terminal.”

Beyond emissions reduction, the initiative has strengthened workforce development, with employees receiving advanced training in the implementation, maintenance, and operation of clean energy technologies, enhancing their professional competitiveness in a rapidly evolving sector.

“From round-the-world trips to a journey to the Moon and back, our electric fleet symbolizes a new era of port operations,” Rodríguez added. “We are proud to lead the way in sustainable innovation in Latin America and remain firmly committed to advancing energy efficiency across our global operations.”

The first-year success of the electric fleet and charging station reaffirms DP World’s role as a global leader in sustainable logistics, investing in scalable solutions that drive decarbonization and operational excellence at ports and terminals worldwide.

Sustainable Construction Barometer 2025: While progress is being made, Canada is still lagging behind rest of world.

Saint-Gobain, global leader in light and sustainable construction, reveals the results of the third edition of its Sustainable Construction Barometer, a worldwide survey conducted in 27 countries amongst 4,000 stakeholders of the industry and 27,000 citizens to track progress of this priority topic.

While we might see ourselves in Canada as the avant-garde by being more environment-friendly and eco-conscious, this year’s Barometer paints a different story as it appears that we still have a blind spot when it comes to sustainable construction.

As Canada is facing both a housing crisis and experiences an increase in extreme weather events due to climate change, it appears more important than ever to tackle those challenges together and think about building more resilient and sustainable housing solutions.

You can also find more details of this year’s Sustainable Construction Barometer in the official press release below.

At the crossroads of demographic, social, energy, and climate challenges faced by societies, the construction sector must accelerate its transformation towards a more sustainable model. This involves designing a built environment that positively contributes to the health and well-being of individuals, is resilient to climate hazards, has low carbon emissions, and provides accessible housing for all—without compromising on quality or performance.

This transition cannot happen without the collective commitment of all industry stakeholders. It is with this goal in mind that Saint-Gobain launched the Sustainable Construction Observatory in 2023. As part of this initiative, the 3rd edition of the Sustainable Construction Barometer, a global study conducted with Occurrence–IFOP, is presented today. It measures the progress made on this essential topic.

This study is structured around 24 questions, asked to 4,000 stakeholders representative of the sector, along with an additional 27,000 citizens who responded to four specific questions. The responses helped identify key levers to accelerate sustainable construction in Canada

Benoit Bazin, Chairman and CEO of Saint-Gobain: “The conclusion is simple: we must act now. For sustainable construction to become the norm, it must be better understood and fully integrated into the expectations of both citizens and professionals. Beyond its environmental impact, its tangible benefits in terms of comfort, health, and well-being are still too often unknown or underestimated. To scale up, a global approach adapted to local realities is essential, taking into account uses, territories, and on-the-ground realities.”

Jean-Claude Lasserre, CEO of Saint-Gobain in Canada: “Both the housing and environmental challenges Canada face today are key topics that need to be tackled together to build a better future for all Canadians. This year’s Barometer results clearly show that there is a need for the construction industry to foster collaboration amongst all key players to raise awareness around sustainable construction’s environmental, societal and monetary benefits. Building more resiliently and sustainably is not only an aspiration, it is a necessity.”

A global analysis to accelerate sustainable construction all around the world

Launched in 2023 on a scope of 10 countries, the Sustainable Construction Barometer now covers 27 countries¹, with a broad spectrum of stakeholders: professionals, students, elected local officials / local government representatives and members of associations. New this year, the survey also surveyed 27,000 regular citizens, giving them a voice in the debate on sustainable construction.

Four key learnings

• Greater awareness, a shared sense of urgency, and strong public support.
• A general, shared desire to go further. Across the board, private actors are seen as the most legitimate driving force, though regional priorities differ.
• A notion still centered on the environment, but resilience is gaining ground, while residents’ well-being remains secondary.
• Well-informed but insufficiently trained stakeholders, which hinders concrete commitments.

A greater awareness of sustainable construction

67% of stakeholders claim to have a good grasp of the concept of sustainable construction. This figure has risen by 6 points over the past year.

The perceived urgency to act on the subject remains high: 69% of stakeholders consider the implementation of more sustainable construction a priority. This stable result is backed up by a perception shared by citizens, who are on board with the issue: 60% consider it a priority, and 95% consider it important. The challenge now lies in converting this high level of stakeholder and public awareness into concrete actions, while taking local specificities into account.

In Canada, the proportion of stakeholders claiming to have a good understanding of sustainable construction rose by 20 points year over year to stand at 71%. But the country faces a challenge when it comes to its general citizen population where only 22% of Canadians say they have heard about sustainable construction and know exactly what it is. Also, Canadians are less likely (52%) than in the rest of the world to believe implementing more sustainable construction solutions is a priority.

Beyond the consensus to accelerate the sector’s transition, the role of private players is praised

87% of stakeholders believe that we need to “go further” in sustainable construction. Those involved in the design phase, positioned upstream in the value chain, appear as essential drivers: 56% of stakeholders consider architects and engineering firms to be the most legitimate players to advance this transition, followed by private companies in the sector at 44%.

However, priorities vary widely from region to region:

• In Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, the adaptability of buildings appears to be a recurring concern;
• In Latin America, the use of eco-friendly materials is emerging as a key issue;
• Europe stands out for its strong interest in building renovation;
• In North America, the issue of affordability is more to the fore.

This diversity of regional challenges underlines the importance of tailoring sustainable construction strategies to local specificities, while preserving a strong global dynamic.

A definition still largely associated with the environment, but resilience is gaining ground, while well-being remains in the background

While stakeholders claim to better understand the concept, they still associate sustainable construction primarily with environmental issues. The energy efficiency of buildings (35%) and the use of ecofriendly materials (31%) remain the main criteria for defining the concept.

Resilience in the face of climatic hazards is becoming an increasingly important issue. This topic has seen the strongest growth since the previous edition, reaching 21% (+8 points compared to 2024). Its importance varies by region, topping concerns in Africa (35%) and Asia-Pacific (32%), regions particularly exposed.

The “human” dimension of sustainable construction is still struggling to gain acceptance and remains relegated to the background. Only 15% of stakeholders and 15% of citizens associate sustainable construction with improved occupant well-being, even though this aspect could play a key role in its acceptance and deployment.

Stakeholder awareness still insufficiently translated into concrete commitments

Although stakeholders claim to be familiar with sustainable construction, only 28% say they are fully informed on the subject, and 35% of professionals have taken dedicated training. This still partial mastery of the subject may explain a certain limit to concrete commitments.

• 78% of students consider training in sustainable construction to be differentiating for employment, but only 40% would refuse an offer from a non-committed company.
• 67% of professionals say they assess the carbon footprint of their projects, but only 30% do so systematically.
• 51% of elected representatives say they would like to exclude non-committed projects from public procurement contracts, but only 37% have taken this step, a result (+26 points compared to 2024) which is nevertheless an encouraging sign.
• 51% of associations plan to call for a boycott of companies deemed to be under-invested, but only 24% have taken action.

The challenge for all value chain actors is therefore to transform this collective awareness into concrete actions. This challenge is a tremendous opportunity for mobilization.

Focus on sustainable construction in Canada

• With Canada being part of the global survey for a second year, it appears that industry stakeholders remain engaged towards sustainable construction and see it as a priority.
• But there is a clear need for more awareness and education within the Canadian population as only 22% have heard and know what sustainable construction is.
• Top 3 actions that need to be put in place to accelerate the development of sustainable construction:
  • Stakeholders
    • Raise awareness among all stakeholders and strengthen their collaboration (40%)
    • Train professionals more (30%)
    • Make sustainable material, products and solutions more competitive (29%) – it was 39% in 2024, an improvement in understanding the cost of sustainable solutions
  • Canadians (general population)
    • Make sustainable material, products and solutions more competitive (38%)
    • Prioritize the use of bio-materials over conventional materials (26%) & Raise public awareness of the challenges of sustainable construction (26%) & Make sustainable performance of constructions more visible and transparent (26%)

Beyond the Barometer, the Sustainable Construction Observatory 

The Sustainable Construction Observatory, launched in 2023, is also structured around Sustainable Construction Talks – meetings held internationally, alongside major multilateral events, but also at national level – and an online media Constructing a Sustainable Future, which today publishes its third special edition in paper and flipbook formats on the theme: “Sustainable Construction: How to keep innovating?”. Through the eyes of experts and inspiring projects, this edition explores the levers needed to accelerate the sector’s transformation towards more sustainable construction.

Baromètre de la construction durable 2025: Malgré du progrès, le Canada reste à la traîne par rapport au reste du monde.

Saint-Gobain, leader mondial en construction légère et durable, révèle aujourd’hui les résultats de la troisième édition de son Baromètre de la construction durable, une enquête mondiale menée dans 27 pays auprès de 4 000 parties prenantes de l’industrie et de 27 000 citoyens pour suivre les progrès de ce sujet prioritaire.

Bien que nous puissions nous considérer au Canada à l’avant-garde au niveau du respect de l’environnement et d’être éco-responsables, le Baromètre de cette année présente une autre réalité : il semble que nous ayons encore un angle mort en matière de construction durable. 

Alors que le Canada fait face à une crise du logement et connaît une augmentation des événements météorologiques extrêmes en raison des changements climatiques, il est plus important que jamais de relever ces défis ensemble et de réfléchir à des solutions de logement plus résilientes et durables.

Vous trouverez également plus de détails sur le Baromètre de la construction durable de cette année dans le communiqué de presse officiel ci-dessous.

Au carrefour des défis démographiques, sociaux, énergétiques et climatiques auxquels les sociétés sont confrontées, le secteur de la construction doit accélérer sa transformation vers un modèle plus durable. Il s’agit de concevoir un environnement bâti qui contribue positivement à la santé et au bien-être des individus, qui soit résilient face aux aléas climatiques, à faibles émissions de carbone, et qui offre des logements accessibles à tous — sans compromis sur la qualité ni la performance.

Cette transition ne peut se faire sans l’engagement collectif de l’ensemble des acteurs de la filière. C’est dans cet objectif que Saint-Gobain a lancé, en 2023, l’Observatoire de la Construction Durable. Dans ce cadre, sa 3ᵉ édition du Baromètre de la Construction Durable, une étude mondiale menée avec Occurrence–IFOP, est présentée aujourd’hui. Elle mesure les progrès accomplis sur ce sujet essentiel.

Cette étude est structurée autour de 24 questions, posées à 4 000 parties prenantes représentatives du secteur, auxquelles s’ajoutent 27 000 citoyens pour quatre questions spécifiques. Elles ont permis d’identifier les leviers pour accélérer la construction durable localement et globalement. Cette analyse est complétée par une étude qualitative France qui se concentre sur le thème de la résilience.

Pour Benoit Bazin, Président-Directeur général de Saint-Gobain : « Le constat est simple : il faut agir maintenant. Pour que la construction durable devienne la norme, elle doit être mieux comprise et pleinement intégrée aux attentes des citoyens comme des professionnels. Au-delà de son impact environnemental, ses bénéfices concrets en matière de confort, de santé et de bien-être sont encore trop souvent méconnus ou sous-estimés. Pour changer d’échelle, une approche à la fois globale et adaptée aux réalités locales est indispensable, en tenant compte des usages, des territoires et des réalités de terrain. »

Pour Jean-Claude Lasserre, PDG de Saint-Gobain Canada : « La crise du logement et l’urgence climatique auxquelles le Canada fait face doivent être gérés de concert afin de bâtir un avenir meilleur pour tous les Canadiens. Les résultats du Baromètre de cette année démontrent clairement un besoin pour les acteurs de l’industrie de la construction de mieux collaborer ensemble afin de faire prendre conscience des bénéfices environnementaux, sociétaux et financiers de la construction durable. Bâtir de façon plus résiliente et durable n’est pas seulement une aspiration, il s’agit maintenant d’une nécessité. »

Une analyse mondialisée, au service de l’accélération de la construction durable sur les cinq continents

Initié en 2023 sur un champ de 10 pays, le Baromètre de la Construction durable couvre aujourd’hui 27 pays¹, auprès d’un large spectre de parties prenantes : professionnels, étudiants, élus ou représentants locaux du gouvernement et membres d’associations. Nouveauté cette année, l’étude a également interrogé 27 000 citoyens pour leur donner une place dans le débat sur la construction durable.

Quatre enseignements clés 

1. Un sentiment de connaissance en hausse, une urgence à agir qui se maintient et des citoyens concernés ;
2. L’envie d’aller plus loin est partagée et les acteurs privés sont perçus partout comme les plus légitimes pour avancer, avec des priorités régionales différentes ​;
3. Une notion toujours centrée sur l’environnement, mais la notion de résilience gagne du terrain, tandis que le bien-être des habitants reste au second plan​ ;
4. Des acteurs plus informés mais insuffisamment formés, ce qui freine leur capacité d’engagement.

Un sentiment de connaissance de la construction durable en hausse

67% des parties prenantes affirment bien saisir le concept. Ce chiffre est en progression de 6 points en l’espace d’un an.

L’urgence perçue à agir sur le sujet reste aussi élevée : 69% des parties prenantes considèrent la mise en place de constructions plus durables comme prioritaire. Ce résultat, stable, est conforté par une perception partagée par les citoyens, qui sont au rendez-vous sur le sujet : 60% considèrent qu’il s’agit d’une priorité, et 95% estiment au minimum cette question importante. L’enjeu réside désormais dans la capacité à convertir cette forte sensibilisation des parties prenantes et des citoyens en actions concrètes, tout en prenant en compte les spécificités locales.

Au Canada, la proportion de parties prenantes affirmant avoir une bonne compréhension de la construction durable a augmenté de 20 points par glissement annuel pour atteindre 71 %. Cependant, le pays fait face à un défi en ce qui concerne sa population générale, car seulement 22 % des Canadiens déclarent avoir entendu parler de la construction durable et savoir exactement ce qu’il en retourne. De plus, les Canadiens sont moins susceptibles (52 %) que le reste du monde à penser que la mise en œuvre de solutions de construction plus durables est une priorité.

Au-delà du consensus d’accélérer la transition du secteur, le rôle des acteurs privés plébiscité

87% des parties prenantes estiment qu’il faut « aller plus loin » en matière de construction durable. Les acteurs de la phase de conception, positionnés en amont de la chaîne de valeur, apparaissent comme moteur essentiel : 56% des parties prenantes considèrent les architectes et bureaux d’ingénierie comme les acteurs les plus légitimes pour faire avancer cette transition, suivis par les entreprises privées du secteur, avec 44%.

Toutefois, les priorités varient largement d’une région à l’autre :

• En Asie-Pacifique, en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient, l’adaptabilité des bâtiments apparaît comme une préoccupation récurrente ;
• En Amérique latine, l’utilisation de matériaux respectueux de l’environnement s’impose comme un enjeu clé ;
• L’Europe se démarque par un fort intérêt pour la rénovation des bâtiments ;

En Amérique du Nord, la question des coûts abordables est davantage mise en avant.

Cette diversité d’enjeux régionaux souligne l’importance d’ajuster les stratégies de construction durable aux spécificités locales, tout en préservant une dynamique globale forte.

Une définition encore largement associée à l’environnement, mais la résilience gagne du terrain, tandis que le bien-être reste au second plan

Si les parties prenantes déclarent mieux maîtriser le concept, elles continuent à associer la construction durable avant tout à des enjeux environnementaux. L’efficacité énergétique des bâtiments (35%) et l’utilisation de matériaux écoresponsables (31%) restent les principaux critères de définition du concept. 

La résilience face aux aléas climatiques s’impose comme un enjeu de plus en plus pris en compte. Le sujet affiche la plus forte progression depuis l’édition précédente à 21% (+8 points par rapport à 2024). Son importance varie selon les régions, arrivant en tête des préoccupations en Afrique (35%) et en Asie-Pacifique (32%), régions particulièrement exposées.

La dimension « humaine » de la construction durable peine toujours à s’imposer et reste reléguée au second plan. Seuls 15% des parties prenantes et 15% des citoyens associent la construction durable à une amélioration du bien-être des occupants, alors que cet aspect pourrait jouer un rôle clé dans son acceptation et son déploiement.

Une sensibilisation des parties prenantes encore insuffisamment convertie en engagements concrets

Si les parties prenantes déclarent bien connaitre la construction durable, seuls 28% se disent tout à fait informés sur le sujet et 35% des professionnels ont suivi une formation dédiée. Cette maîtrise encore partielle du sujet peut expliquer une certaine limite à des engagements concrets.

• 78% des étudiants jugent la formation en construction durable différenciante pour l’emploi, mais seuls 40% refuseraient une offre d’une entreprise non engagée.
• 67% des professionnels déclarent évaluer l’empreinte carbone de leurs projets, mais seuls 30% le font de manière systématique.
• 51% des élus annoncent vouloir exclure des projets non engagés sur la construction durable des marchés publics, mais seuls 37% ont réellement franchi le pas, un résultat dont la hausse de 26 points par rapport au baromètre 2024 constitue cependant un signal encourageant.
• 51% des associations envisagent d’appeler au boycott d’entreprises jugées insuffisamment investies, mais seulement 24% sont effectivement passées à l’action.

L’enjeu pour tous les acteurs de la chaîne de valeur est donc de transformer cette prise de conscience collective en actions concrètes. Ce défi est une formidable opportunité de mobilisation.

Focus sur la construction durable au Canada

• Alors que le Canada participe à cette enquête mondiale pour une deuxième année, il semble que les parties prenantes de l’industrie restent engagées en faveur de la construction durable et la considèrent comme une priorité.
• Mais il est clair qu’il y a un besoin d’une plus grande sensibilisation et éducation au sein de la population canadienne, puisque seulement 22 % ont entendu parler de la construction durable et savent ce que c’est.
• Les 3 actions principales qui doivent être mises en place pour accélérer le développement de la construction durable :
• Selon les parties prenantes
  • Sensibiliser toutes les parties prenantes et renforcer leur collaboration (40 %)
  • Former davantage de professionnels (30 %)
  • Rendre les matériaux, produits et solutions durables plus compétitifs (29 %) – ce chiffre était à 39 % en 2024, ce qui témoigne d’une amélioration de la compréhension des coûts des solutions durables.
• Selon les Canadiens (population générale)
  • Rendre les matériaux, produits et solutions durables plus compétitifs (38 %)
  • Prioriser l’utilisation de biomatériaux par rapport aux matériaux conventionnels (26 %)
  • Sensibiliser le public aux défis de la construction durable (26 %)
  • Rendre la performance des constructions durables plus visible et transparente (26 %)

Au-delà du Baromètre, les travaux de l’Observatoire de la Construction durable 

L’Observatoire de la Construction durable, lancé en 2023, est également structuré autour des Sustainable Construction Talks, – des rencontres à l’international, en marge de grands​ événements multilatéraux, mais aussi au niveau national – et d’un media en ligne Constructing a Sustainable Future, qui publie aujourd’hui sa troisième édition spéciale en format papier et flipbook sur le thème : « Construction durable : Comment continuer d’innover ? ». Cette édition, à travers des regards d’experts et des projets inspirants, explore les leviers nécessaires pour accélérer la transformation du secteur vers une construction plus durable.
