OUR CORPORATE COMMITMENTS
Continually Reducing Energy Consumption
42
Throughout our facilities, we are committed to eliminating wasted energy, without negatively affecting our product development, testing, or manufacturing capacity.
Working with BC Hydro (our provincial electrical utility) and others, we developed a target list of 42 initiatives for reducing our energy use. In 2017 and 2018, we focused on implementing those initiatives that would have the greatest impact. As a result, we reduced our electricity consumption by 2.4MWh—enough electricity to power 225 typical BC homes for an entire year. In 2019, company growth resulted in a total increase in electric consumption. However our ongoing work on energy-conservation initiatives reduced our per- employee electrical consumption by 19%, compared to 2018.
