1. Environment
EECOL ELECTRIC is committed to safeguarding the environment and minimizing or reducing adverse environmental impacts of its operations across Canada.
We will achieve environmental excellence by committing to promote awareness and protection of the environment. We communicate with customers, local communities, employees and suppliers to identify and resolve environmental issues, and conduct our business in compliance with applicable environmental regulations and legislation. We use our resources efficiently to minimize waste and regularly review our environmental strategies to ensure continuous improvement.
We at EECOL continue to do all we can to comply with concept qualities in environmental performance. Some of these concepts include paper recycling, wood pallet recycling, shipping box recycling, wire spool recycling, along with the use of occupancy sensors, winter car plugs, heating and cooling control, energy efficient lighting and power save. EECOL has Energy Star compliant systems throughout our facilities.
Each year we help reduce energy and environment proficiencies. We work in conjunction with Newalta, a waste management firm, to provide our clients with several waste and disposal solutions such as lamp and battery disposal options.

At EECOL, community involvement is not something we just talk about; it is an important part of the way we live, work and do business every day. We are constantly looking for new ways to contribute to our local communities as it provides us with a tremendous opportunity to make a difference. EECOL takes every opportunity possible to help our communities prosper whether through financial support or the volunteer efforts of our employees.
EECOL has over 55 facilities strategically located throughout Western Canada, including the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and have been involved in our local communities for over 86 years. We support each of our communities in many different ways including charities, charitable BBQ's, community programs, financial support, donating time, and building strong community values.
EECOL is committed to promoting, achieving, and continuously improving a safe and healthy work environment at all its locations, for all management, employees, customers and the public. Management and employees as a cohesive team will participate and contribute to achieving a safe and healthy work environment that meets or exceeds the legislative requirements. Striving to ensure loss of any kind is prevented by the active participation of everyone in the organization, working together to fulfill their responsibilities as outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety System and Program Components, has vital and equal importance with the primary objectives of EECOL ELECTRIC.
The ongoing protection of the health and safety of our employees is crucial to accomplishing EECOL's strategic goals for sustainable development. Every day, we strive to provide workplaces and communities where our people and their families are kept safe and healthy. As such, we take our workplace safety system very seriously.
