Corporate Social Responsibility

Our company believes that corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a significant part in long-term sustainability, not only for our business, but for the economy in general. We have developed a policy that outlines our approach to CSR across the following dimensions:

––1. Environmental Sustainability
––2. Local Economic Sustainability
––3. Public Service and Community Involvement

1. Environmental Sustainability

Clearlogic Consulting Professionals is committed to using resources wisely and responsibly. We promote an inter-office policy that is appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of our business. Wherever possible:

• We use secure electronic files instead of hard copies to transmit information;
• We print double-sided pages to minimize paper usage and waste;
• All waste is recycled or disposed of in an appropriate manner;
• We use energy efficient equipment and technology;
• We schedule and combine activities in geographical regions to ensure that the impact of transportation on the environment is minimized;
• We recycle office stationery;
• We regularly review the environmental impacts of our business, and seek opportunities for continuous improvement.

2. Local Economic Sustainability

We recognize that supporting our local retailers and store-owners is important if we’re going to have a role in helping our community thrive and prosper. We are proud and active members of the local Chamber of Commerce, and wherever possible:

• We buy stationery and other consumables from local suppliers;
• We accept a reasonable price premium in order to purchase equipment and after-sale services from local small business owners;
• We nominate exceptional local suppliers and individuals with whom we do business for annual awards through such organizations as the Chamber of Commerce and Northern Ontario Business.
