Experts In Eco-friendly Restoration
We are rebuilding toward a sustainable future.
At Hudson Restoration, sustainability is not a marketing initiative — it is an operational framework.
Disaster restoration has historically been waste-heavy and energy-intensive. We have made it our mission to challenge that model and lead the industry toward measurable environmental accountability.
Our #RestoreResponsibly Philosophy
We look at our operations, initiatives, people, partnerships and processes through the lens of how can continually do better. We call it #RestoreResponsibly.
🌍 Our Climate Commitment
Net-Zero by 2050
Hudson Restoration has joined the Net-Zero Challenge, committing to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
This commitment is backed by:
Ongoing carbon accounting
Measurable reduction targets
Operational electrification strategies
Continuous emissions tracking
Our Biggest Contributors
Our carbon accounting efforts have shown us that our fleet and waste diversion are the two biggest emittors of GHG gasses for our company.
Carbon Accounting & Reduction Planning
Hudson was formerly Climate Smart Certified through BMO’s Radicle program, where we completed detailed carbon footprint analysis and built structured emissions reduction plans.
As the program transitioned, we continued our carbon reduction journey through CarbonHound, ensuring our emissions tracking and reduction efforts remain active and measurable.
We believe restoration companies must measure impact before they can meaningfully reduce it.
Carbon accounting doesn’t have to be complicated. Our partner Carbonhound has made it effortless to stay on top of our carbon footprint.
♻️ Waste Diversion & Circular Restoration
Restoration traditionally sends significant material to landfill. We have built a system to change that.
EcoClaim Certified
Hudson is EcoClaim Certified, allowing us to track and divert multiple waste streams from every site.
Our process includes:
On-site separation and bagging of materials
Transport back to our facility
Sorting and weighing at our in-house transfer station
Tracking diversion metrics
Since implementing this system, we have mitigated nearly 80% of our waste compared to prior practices.
This means:
Less landfill contribution
Better resource recovery
Measurable environmental improvement
Since implementing this system, we have mitigated nearly 80% of our waste compared to prior practices.
This means:
Less landfill contribution
Better resource recovery
Measurable environmental improvement
Only about 12 per cent of construction waste is being diverted from landfill on average.
We saw an opportunity to do better.
40% of GHG Emissions
The built environment – or Construction Industry – is responsible for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
🏗 Sustainable Rebuild Leadership
We need to get serious about constructing and reconstructing our homes using sustainable materials and practices if we want to get a handle on embodied carbon.
Hudson is the only restoration contractor in Ontario offering structured eco-friendly rebuild options.
Our President, Nick Hudson, serves on the Board of Built Green, reinforcing our leadership in sustainable construction practices.
Through this governance involvement, we:
Offer low-emission product alternatives
Recommend energy-efficient rebuilding strategies
Support sustainable material selection
Align reconstruction efforts with green building standards
When rebuilding after loss, clients have options — not just replacements.

🚛 Fleet Electrification
We are actively electrifying our fleet at a rate of approximately two vehicles per year, with the goal of operating a fully electric fleet by 2030.
By reducing transportation emissions — one of the largest contributors to operational carbon — we are lowering the environmental impact of every claim we service.
🌳 10 Trees for Every Claim
Through our partnership with OneTreePlanted, Hudson plants 10 trees for every claim received.
This initiative contributes to:
Global reforestation efforts
Carbon sequestration
Biodiversity support
Community-level environmental restoration
Every loss we respond to also contributes to long-term environmental recovery.
