www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, April 23, 2015 | 28 Town of Oakville named one of Canada's Greenest employers Just in time for Earth Week, the Town of Oakville has been named one of Canada's Greenest Employers for 2015. Canada's Greenest Employers Award is part of the Canada's Top 100 Employers competition conducted by Mediacorp Canada. This special designation recognizes employers that lead the nation in creating a corporate culture of environmental awareness, developing exceptional Earth-friendly initiatives and attracting people to their organization through environmental leadership. "Council is committed to creating a cleaner, greener and more livable Oakville," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "Our efforts have shaped a sustainable community and provided residents with enormous benefits. Being recognized as one of Canada's Greenest Employers is appreciated." The editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers recognized Oakville with the honour because of the Town's commitment to environmental sustainability, its LEED Gold- and Silver-certified buildings and its Earth-friendly employee and community initiatives. "A total of 60 employers were selected from across Canada for this designation and we are proud to be one of them," said Town of Oakville CAO Ray Green. "Our actions demonstrate our commitment to creating a sustainable community. It's ingrained in the way we think and conduct our business." Some of those actions include the Town's waste reduction and diversion programs, community partnerships for environmental initiatives and implementation of ecoprograms for young people. "We're committed to keeping Oakville on a path towards a sustainable future," said Burton. "We continue to adopt new and innovative processes and technologies that reinforce this commitment and provide our community with top results." Employers who are considered for Canada's Greenest Employers are evaluated based on unique environmental initiatives, success reaching environmental goals and involvement in programs.
