Promoting Environmentally Friendly Behaviours

Through our Eco-Committee, we encourage our employees to adopt environmentally friendly habits and to think green in their every day actions and decisions. We are focused on developing and implementing practices that support the environment such as engaging employees in initiatives to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, which are aimed at eliminating waste.

We also have a partnership with The Carpooling Network which enables employees to quickly and easily find carpooling partners with whom they can commute to work or other business travel destinations. By utilizing this carpooling service, we hope to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases which continue to have adverse effects on citizens' quality of life.
