OUR COMMITMENT

“We need to become the change we want to see.”

- Mahatma Gandhi

All of us at find so much inspiration in these words. Here are some of the things we are doing to make a positive change to the environment:

• Use paper that contains a minimum of 30% post consumer recycled content and that is ethanol and chlorine free for all office machines.
• Print on both sides of the paper for all internal documents, as well as external documents when appropriate.
• Ensure all business cards, letterhead and envelopes are printed on recycled paper.
• Insist on the use of non-toxic cleaning supplies for office cleaning crews.
• Use Energy Star rated light bulbs in all office lights.
• Ensure computers, printers and monitors are in low energy sleep mode when not in use and are turned off at night.
• Have a Green Kitchen: re-usable cups, plates and cutlery, washable hand towels, and earth friendly soap.
• Compost our organic waste.
• Purchase only the most fuel efficient vehicles in the class required.
• Encourage staff to use alternate forms of transportation to get to and from work, fund bus passes and provide bicycle storage.
• Donate our time, effort and money to local charities that work to improve the communities we trade in.
• Encourage all stakeholders to take little steps to help reduce their environmental impact outside of work.
