We put people first. At PortsToronto, our commitment to putting people first is at the heart of everything we do. We recognize that our success depends on the well-being, growth, and development of our employees, customers, and the communities in which we live and work.

We strive to create an inclusive and diverse work environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. We believe that by fostering a culture of open communication, collaboration and professional growth, we can unlock the full potential of our team.

Beyond our organization, we extend our “People First” philosophy to the communities we serve. We actively engage with stakeholders to understand their needs, concerns, and aspirations.

We are collaborative. Collaboration is the cornerstone of PortsToronto’s success. We believe that by working together, we can achieve greater outcomes, drive innovation, and overcome challenges more effectively. This is critical to align our three lines of business across Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Outer Harbour Marina and Port of Toronto.

Externally, collaboration is equally vital. We actively seek partnerships across the waterfront community, government agencies, customers, and other stakeholders. Together, we can address complex issues and create enduring value for our communities and beyond.

We are sustainable. Sustainability is at the core of PortsToronto’s operations. We acknowledge our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment, achieve financial self-sufficiency as well as social responsibilities for our waterfront, airport and services we provide.

We prioritize environmental stewardship in all aspects of our operations, from reducing waste to protecting biodiversity. By continuously evaluating and adopting innovative technologies and practices, we strive to set industry benchmarks for sustainable aviation and port operations.

Sustainability goes beyond environmental concerns. We also seek to create economic and social value that will endure. Our commitment to financial self-sufficiency, long-term planning, responsible resource management, and community engagement ensures that our efforts contribute to the well-being of both our organization and the
broader society.

Safety and security, always. These are non-negotiable priorities at PortsToronto. We are unwavering in our dedication to providing a safe and secure environment for our employees, customers, stakeholders, and the vibrant communities that we serve.

Our commitment to safety and security extends beyond our physical assets. We work closely with regulators and industry partners to identify evolving safety and security challenges. Continuous oversight equal continuous improvement, and embracing a proactive approach ensures a safe and secure environment that instils confidence and trust.

We act with integrity. Integrity is the foundation of our reputation at PortsToronto. We communicate with clarity and transparency, openness, and respect in all our interactions.

We believe that trust is earned through consistent and principled behaviour. We are dedicated to upholding the interests of our stakeholders, demonstrating accountability, and honouring our commitments. We openly acknowledge mistakes and take responsibility for rectifying them, ensuring that we continuously earn the trust of the community and customers we serve.

Internally, we foster a culture of integrity by encouraging open communication, ethical decision-making, and a commitment to doing what is right, even in the face of challenges. By acting with integrity, we solidify our reputation as a trustworthy, credible, and reliable partner in all aspects of our business.
