Sustainability Projects
2017
Reducing Personal Waste: As of summer 2017, there was a move to centralize waste, moving bins away from each staff’s desk and now are in the common area and the kitchen.
2015
Workplace Reconfiguration: converted work areas to include additional hoteling work stations and shared offices to maximize space until EY moves to their new “Workplace of the Future” location
Paperless Office: Certain documents and tax returns are saved as PDFs, allowing EY to send documents in electronic form and maintain electronic files. Additionally, copiers have been replaced and now require card access, decreasing the availability and amount of printing.
2014
Sustainability Contest: Held a contest to generate ideas from staff to be more environmentally efficient. Staff came up with ideas to unplug cords (Phantom Power) and turn off external monitors when they aren’t in use.
2013
Building Upgrades: Renovated office space to include T-8 lighting, low-flush toilets, improved HVAC, window film and sensor lighting.
Carpool: Increased carpool allowance for staff from 0.54 to 0.52 cents/km
2012
‘Hotelling’: Reducing real estate footprint by using a booking feature that allows staff the ability to reserve workspace as needed, shared workspaces are booked on a daily basis.
2011
Office Upgrades: Installed light sensors in offices, so lights turn off when not in use. Also fitted window film on 2 sides on the second floor, this is an extremely cost-effective method to reduce heating and cooling costs.
