E.H. Price and Price Industries are committed to examining our policies and procedures
to make them more environmentally friendly. At Price, sustainability means maintaining
our business model indefinitely, ensuring that we continue to grow and prosper while
not burning up the path behind us. Price is committed to being the industry leader in
environmental and social responsibility, ensuring our efforts make sense for the
company, and that they fit with our values and our vision for a healthy, prosperous
future.
This journey prompted the creation of Green Teams in Winnipeg and Atlanta to oversee
the green projects in their respective facilities and marks our commitment to waste
reduction, employee health and a smaller environmental footprint.
Some of our recent changes:
- Initiation of an employee health and wellness program.
-
Reduction of the amount of water used in the production process by installing
closed loop chillers on equipment.
- Speeding up the paintline allows the ovens to be turned off for hours at a time.
-
Our corporate office has converted all paper used in fax machines, photocopiers
and promotional materials to a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled paper.
(Estimated paper consumption is 17 tons)
-
Conversion of cardboard received in the plant into packaging materials reduces
raw materials consumed and diverts waste to serve a useful function.
