CURVE’S GREEN ETHICAL POLICY

Our portfolio of eco-friendly clients proves this. Curve feels strongly in sustainable development, and regards it as a high priority. We are proud to work in an environmentally conscious setting, which ultimately contributes to a better world – we acknowledge that every little bit counts. Curve is committed to social, environmental and ethical excellence.

Our environmental practices:

• reduce waste by re-using and recycling resources, including re-using and recycling paper, envelopes and printer cartridges
• conduct business electronically and only print when absolutely necessary
• use low energy light bulbs and 'green' energy suppliers
• switch off electronic equipment when not in use and never leave it in 'stand-by' mode
• support local trade & source supplies wherever possible
• use 'green' service providers and 'fair trade' products wherever possible
• reduce, re-use and re-cycle
• walk/cycle or use public transport to work as well as meetings wherever possible
• bring our own coffee and water containers to work

We welcome the opportunity to work with organizations taking significant steps to improve their social, environmental and ethical performance. Some of our eco-friendly clients include:

• Environment Canada
• Natural Resources Canada
• Earthcycle Packaging
• EPIC - The Sustainable Living Expo
• EECO Environment & Energy Conference
• GLOBE Series of Environmental Business Conferences (GLOBE Foundation)

Curve is a key supplier with the GLOBE Foundation on the United Nations World Urban Forum (WUF) Conference, from 2006 to present. The event was awarded, the esteemed 2007 Gold Green Meetings Award. This award recognizes environmental awareness amongst meeting organizers, showcasing opportunities that now exist to stage business tourism events in 'green-minded' venues. The conference addressed 10,000 delegates from 150 countries on the rapid urbanization of the world's population.  At this event, Curve implemented its green practices, supporting more than 300 international media in attendance through one of the greenest media centres constructed to date in Canada.

Curve seeks to do business with organizations that:

• research, develop or market goods and services with environmental benefits
• voluntarily implement formal policies, programs, and processes to reduce the negative environmental impacts of their operations, including the consumption of natural resources
• have action plans in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

At Curve, our creative integrity and professional service transcends our environmental policy.
Our industry imprints are large, but small on the environment.
