A Green Westman

Environmental Sustainability

WCG is committed to reducing our impact on the environment and creating a sustainable future for our communities. Through innovative strategies and partnerships, we’re taking big steps toward a greener Westman.

Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

Sustainability isn’t just a goal for WCG; it’s our mission. We commit to making a positive environmental impact for the future of our communities.

Digital-First Member Programs

Our digital opt-in program for member statements and annual reports encourages paperless options, significantly reducing paper waste. By making the shift to digital, we’re keeping members informed and reducing our resource use.

Thoughtful Energy Use

From motion-sensor lighting in our offices to fibre-optic connections in communities, we’re focused on energy efficiency. By connecting communities with fibre, we reduce the need for frequent maintenance trips and minimize energy use in our operations.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Efficient Operations

We’ve strategically hired and placed our technicians closer to rural areas, cutting down on travel time, fuel usage, and emissions. This allows us to serve our members more efficiently while minimizing our carbon footprint.

E-Waste Management

WCG takes e-waste seriously. Through our partnership with the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA), we ensure that outdated and defective devices are properly recycled. Learn more about e-waste recycling at RecycleMyElectronics.ca.

Sustainable Packaging & Materials

We work with environmentally conscious vendors like PerfectVision, which incorporates reusable cable caddies and tighter coils to reduce packaging waste. These measures enable us to transport more materials in fewer shipments, cutting down on both waste and carbon emissions.
