Environmental Policy

The following are the key principles that guide our business and social practices:

• A long-term commitment to sustainability;
• Purchasing non-polluting and energy efficient products and technologies;
• An acknowledgment of compliance with appropriate environmental legislation;
• Minimize the use of natural resources;
• A commitment to monitor progress and bi-annually review green performance.

The following are the environmental policy guidelines for the company:

• All lights must be turned off, with the exception of emergency lights, upon leaving the office at night or on weekends;
• Heating is to be lowered at night during the winter;
• Computer monitors must be shut off upon leaving the office at night;
• Computers and printers are shut off during close days;
• Office supplies (paper, folders, etc.) are to be recycled;
• Folders, files, paper, paper clips, etc., are to be reused;
• Paper, glass, cardboard and plastic are to be recycled;
• Documents are printed only if necessary and we reuse single-sided copies as scratch paper;
• Empty toner cartridges and batteries are recycled;
• Products sold in bulk or in large quantities will be favoured to those sold individually;
• Obsolete computer hardware is to be granted a second life by donation to charitable organization(s);
• Local products made in Nova Scotia or Canada are to be favored as often as possible;
