At Square One, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment. We’re proud to feature one of the largest rooftop solar panel installations in the Greater Toronto Area. With over 2,200 solar panels spread across 152,000 square feet, our solar array plays a major role in reducing our environmental footprint.

Supported by 24 high-efficiency inverters, this powerful system helps supply clean, renewable energy to our centre—cutting down on emissions and making every visit to Square One a little greener.

Square One is equipped with 39 waterless urinals. Since January 2019, over 19.25 million liters of fresh water has been saved by using this technology.

Water flow on over 150 faucets throughout the shopping centre are equipped with a Swiss spray technology, saving an additional 70% of water when washing your hands. An average of 1.875 million liters of fresh drinking water can be saved annually.

Square One is home to one beehive from urban beekeeping company, Aveole, that will live on the rooftop to support and help grow the bee population. The bees travel 5kms to pollinate, contribute to biodiversity and provide a food source while contributing to the greening in the neighbourhood and local gardens. We thank our neighbours for planting luscious gardens to help pollination.
