Key Environmental Commitments
Five Winds International's offices will strive to continuously improve the material and energy efficiencies of their operations. This may be achieved through a variety of means such as travel reduction; local purchasing; energy-efficient appliances, windows and lighting, etc.; purchase of alternate fuels for vehicles; greater reliance on public transit; and optimization of paper use, reuse and recycling.
Five Winds will adhere to its sustainable purchasing policy and guidelines for all of its offices. Progress will be reviewed and reported on annually. The company will also continue to work with its suppliers to raise awareness of the business benefits that can derive from improving environmental performance.
Five Winds will continue to work with its clients and suppliers to ensure its workshops, meetings and conferences are conducted in an eco-efficient manner.
Five Winds will provide support to its employees so that they can participate in local environmental organizations to help improve the environmental quality of the communities in which they work and live, and to participate in sustainability education activities.
