Corporate Sustainability

As a Company we seek to embody the values we believe in because we know that our commitment to sustainability is only as good as what we do. We have incorporated sustainability into our internal operations in many ways:

• We are the first corporate office in Edmonton to start diverting organic waste to Edmonton's compost facility;
• We have implemented a recycling program at work;
• Our recycling and compost initiative has resulted in 80% waste diversion;
• We have retrofitted HVAC systems in the Edmonton office;
• We use only paper products that are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approved;
• We reduce paper use by defaulting to print double-sided;
• We have implemented energy efficient lighting in our offices;
• We encourage our employees to walk, cycle or take public transportation to work, by providing change rooms and showers at work;
• We have a car share program including an ISL "Smart Car" so our employees can attend meetings outside the office using efficient transportation;
• We are pleased to take part in community events including the River Valley Clean-Up in Edmonton on an annual basis;
• We have purchased and use green cleaning products
• We have a policy to purchase only recycled or recyclable furniture and building materials
• We are strong supporters of the United Way campaign.

We will continue to evaluate and enhance our commitment to sustainable practice by considering internal operations through the lens of the 4 sustainability principles and related performance indicators.
