Environmental Choice Program
In 2005, St. Joseph Communications' Ottawa facility became certified by the Environmental
Choice Program – Environment Canada’s
ecolabelling program.
Started by the Government of Canada in 1988, the
Environmental Choice Program (ECP) is one of
many ecolabelling programs around the
world rewarding companies for their
environmental leadership. To date,
over 3,000 products and services
have attained certification through
the program.
To qualify for
the program,
a product or
service must
be made or
offered in a way
that improves
energy
efficiency,
reduces
hazardous
by-products,
uses recycled
materials, is
reusable, or
provides some other environmental benefit. The
ECP provides consumers
with a level of assurance that the product bearing
the EcoLogo meets stringent environmental criteria,
evaluated by a credible third party.
The program and logo are internationally
renowned because of the stringent
certification process, which includes
review of each applicant’s product and
process information; an examination
of the company’s assurance/quality
control measures; and,
where deemed necessary
by ECP officials, an audit
of the company’s facilities
for purposes of initial
certification.
This certification
demonstrates St. Joseph Communications' commitment to
environmental responsibility and
provides our clients with the reassurance that we
are using products and services that do not
harm the environment.
