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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
