Caring For Our Planet
We actively participate in environmental initiatives, such as Earth Day, and our team members engage in grassroots efforts to clean up parks, create habitats for endangered species, and promote sustainable solutions using our products and technology.
Supporting Our People
We prioritize the well-being of our employees and their families through a high-quality Employee Assistance Program, which provides support for mental health, substance abuse, family challenges, and more.
We believe that healthy employees contribute to healthier communities. We have also partnered with leading organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Indigenous Communities
We are committed to supporting Canadian Indigenous people through bettering our understanding of community needs. Through investment and participation in programs and events we pledge to positively impact the people in the Indigenous community. We strive to promote career development through scholarships, bursaries, employment readiness workshops and a dedicated job website to encourage economic growth and employment opportunities.
A Sustainable Future
We offer electrical solutions that promote a greener future, working directly with our customers to provide best-in-class solutions that reduce operating costs and contribute to a sustainable future.
Youth Programs
We believe in supporting the future generation and contribute to local sports and youth programs through sponsorship, as well as funding scholarships with local colleges and apprenticeship programs.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)
We value diversity and inclusion as fundamental principles. We have launched a Diversity and Inclusion Survey to gather feedback from our employees and have implemented inclusive hiring practices, internal programs to amplify the voices of our female team members, and have been recognized as a global "diversity leader" by the Financial Times.
