Carbon Offset Program – One Tree for Every Service Call

We plant one tree for every service call completed through our Planned Maintenance Program in partnership with Tree Canada. This program not only offsets our field emissions but also contributes to Canadian reforestation and biodiversity restoration.

  • Thousands of trees planted to date
  • Direct emissions-offsetting with long-term ecological value
  • Supports Indigenous reforestation efforts where possible 

Waste Reduction & Recycling Initiatives

Our facilities run a streamlined recycling program for:

  • Steel, cardboard, and paper
  • Electronics and batteries(where applicable)
  • Office paper reusevia our O.O.S.E. (Good On One Side Everyday) policy

We are consistently reviewing new waste diversion options to lower our landfill impact across operations.
