About Vovia Digital Strategy company in Calgary, Canada
The world is rapidly moving towards less energy consumption. Here at Vovia our team works hard to reduce our carbon footprint and maintain the integrity of our planet and we have practices in place that we hope would make our community proud. Were excited to be transparent about how our office is sustainable!
Heres a few ways were doing our part:
Going paperless is one of the main ways we work to avoid unnecessary waste. As much as possible we favour electronic materials over printed ones. When using paper all printing must be double sided and in grayscale. Weve also invested in productivity tools that allow us to collaborate together online reducing the need for printing.
Finally we recycle our ink/toner cartridges with our suppliers although it does usually take us a while to run out!
Coffee pods? Not in this office. We have adopted podless coffee stations in order to reduce waste and environmental impact. We also favour real cutlery ceramic coffee cups and plates for meals and snacks and we encourage staff and guests to use our glassware or their water bottles for beverages when filling up at our permanent filtered/sparkling water station. You wont find many single use plastics in our kitchen!
To add we also have recycling and composting stations throughout our office.
The Vovia office is fortunate to have many large bright windows so often in our meeting rooms we dont even need to turn on the lights! But for when lighting is necessary we are outfitted with LED lights to conserve energy and we ask our staff to turn off lights in meeting rooms that are not in use. Common areas such as the kitchen and washrooms are outfitted with motion activated LED lighting so these turn off whenever someone is not in the room to avoid wasted energy.
We also use rechargeable batteries over single use ones for all of our devices and computer peripherals.
Many Vovians take public transit or bike to work when weather permits cutting down emissions! We also allow staff to work from home and have a number of staff who work from home every day cutting down on the number of vehicles commuting.
When driving is necessary we always carpool to off-site meetings events and engagements and staff team builders. Or if its within walking distance we enjoy a stroll as a group to get to where were going.
