Not easy being green? Time to change that tune.
Becoming a green business starts with the same things we do at home. Recycling programs, carpooling and automatic light shut off represented an excellent start – but we knew that was just the beginning of a bigger, more impactful march towards sustainability. Going green has also evolved into a larger, more involved movement that goes beyond saving money and the planet. Your organization’s environmental efforts reflect your corporate citizenship, affecting your ability to attract and retain the best talent in your industry. Just as IT simplifies several aspects of your business, from operations to employee collaboration, it can also make your green journey that much easier.

Practicing what we preach
It's one thing to say you care about the environment and another thing to actually do something about it. Our head office in Richmond Hill, built-in 2010, is 120,000 square feet of environment-friendly office space. One of the design goals was to reduce our headquarters’ ecological footprint.
Notable accomplishments:
Inside the building, large picture windows reduce lighting costs by 40%, and electronic sensors automatically turn off the lights when rooms are empty. The configuration centre boasts energy-efficient heating and cooling racks that significantly reduce power costs. Follow-me print stations have allowed us to right-size from more than 80 printers down to just eight, translating to far fewer wasted printouts and lower electrical consumption. We’ve reduced water consumption by 60% through low-flow toilets and auto-on faucets and by capturing rainwater for our drought-resistant landscaping. We also offer electric car charging stations in our parking lot to support our staff’s sustainability goals and further ingrain the green movement on a personal level.
