Sustainability Champion Driving Change at our Mont-Joli Foundry
With a background in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and a passion for preserving nature, Marie-Claude brings a unique blend of expertise and empathy to her role as the Sustainability Business Partner at Bradken’s foundry in Mont-Joli, Canada.
Originally from Saint-Hubert, a small town outside of Montreal in Quebec, she credits a childhood immersed in nature for sparking her passion for the environment and shaping her future career aspirations. “I grew up in a family where nature was important. We went hiking in the forest, camping and fishing when I was a child, and my early dream was to become a veterinarian because I loved animals and wanted to help them.”
For a Better Future
Asked what she enjoys most about her role as a Sustainability Business Partner, Marie-Claude says seeing the growing environmental consciousness among her colleagues is something she finds hugely satisfying. “For someone like me working in sustainability, our workplace is a veritable playground with its fair share of challenges, particularly given the location of the site in the center of the Mont-Joli township. But I can see the changes happening and the improvements we're making together - It makes me proud to know that what I’m doing is making a difference to the future of our site and our community.”
Looking ahead, she’s particularly excited about Bradken’s ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. “With 100% of the electricity we use at site already coming from renewable hydropower we're well on the way to achieving this, and who knows, to perhaps becoming Bradken's first carbon-neutral foundry.”
