Our Climate Action Journey

Learn more about Environics Research’s climate action journey.

Our Climate Action Mission

As we work with and advise clients who want to do better, we recognize the need to commit to corporate action ourselves. We are in a strong position – with the right help and information – to make a difference and contribute to a brighter future for our planet.

Our Sustainability Journey

From its very founding in 1970, Environics Research has strived to maintain values which are consistent with the highest level of social responsibility – long before the point when this notion was “on trend.” This is demonstrated through the research we do, as well as through our long-held corporate value of environmental responsibility.

  • About – Quantifying Our Environmental Footprint

    At Environics Research, the first step in our sustainability journey was to quantify our environmental footprint. This was a daunting task in itself. We worked closely with Green Economy Canada (GEC) developing a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory to take into account a variety of emissions sources that contribute to our environmental impact.

  • Affiliations – Green Economy Leader

    Environics Research is now one of 250+ Green Economy Leaders across Canada working to measure our environmental impacts, set reduction targets, and publicly report on progress towards these goals. We’re proud to be a part of this growing community, striving to make business better, together.

  • About – The Climate Crew

    Environics launched a committee focused on climate change, driven by the vision to be a resilient and positive force in our future altered by climate change. The committee is focused on three pillars: mitigation (measuring and reducing Environics’ emissions), adaptation (protecting Environics and its employees from the changing climate), and finding ways to have a positive impact outside of Environics. Environics Climate Crew was founded.

  • About – Powered by Renewable Energy

    Our Toronto headquarters is powered by renewable energy through Bullfrog Power. We partnered with Bullfrog Energy as an early investor and user when it was first established in 2005. Environics was an active participant in a sustainability group sponsored by our former landlord, which led office building initiatives related to energy efficiency and reduction, water conservation, waste management and recycling, and green cleaning.

  • About – Public Transit Benefits

    We have been a strong supporter of the urban and environmental benefits of public transit dating back to 1980 when the company first put in place its transit pass subsidy for Environics Research employees.

Green Economy Canada

Environics Research understands the need to establish a more socially just and environmentally sustainable future, and that all organizations should do their part to advance these achievable goals. We are proud to be a founding member of the Green Economy Canada national hub. Together, we are working to tackle climate change and build sustainability into our business operations.
