New Flyer Industries Canada ULC has been named as one of Canada’s Greenest
Employers for 2010 for the third consecutive year by the editors of Canada’s Top
100 Employers. Employers were evaluated based on earth-friendly initiatives that
involve employee participation, the degree to which environmental values have
been integrated into the corporate culture, and how well these initiatives are
attracting both employees and customers to their organizations. Other employers
selected for the 2010 list included Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Co., The Home Depot
Canada, IKEA Canada Limited Partnership, KPMG LLP and Royal Bank of
Canada.
New Flyer offers the industry’s broadest selection of heavy-duty
transit vehicles, all of which incorporate clean technologies. We have taken
measures to minimize the impact of our products and production facilities on the
environment, such as implementing low-VOC products to reduce emissions and
managing the safe disposal of hazardous waste generated in the manufacturing
process. New Flyer’s shop-floor employees are the heart of our pollution
prevention activities and employee education is critical to our
success.
Environmental responsibility goes beyond our business
activities, so New Flyer strives to influence employee behavior by delivering
safety and environmental messaging pertinent to household activities.
Where
possible, New Flyer operates “satellite” recycling depots for the convenience of
our employees and we offer preferred parking to employees participating in
carpools.
We are certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001
(environmental) and OHSAS 18001 (safety) management standards. This helps
protect our employees and preserve our planet, as we provide our customers with
environmentally-friendly products in a responsible way.
