Working for positive environmental, economic and social change

At Avtec Media we take a triple bottom line approach:

Environmental — Social — Financial

Green Choices

Avtec Media chooses environmental sustainability

People used to think that it cost money and profits to make your company greener. Turns out the opposite is true: sustainability is sustainable because it’s profitable. The business world is demanding greener, more responsible companies, and we’ve made it our mission to help support those organizations devoted to positive social and environmental change.

We conduct business according to standards that reach beyond contemporary business practices in addressing the needs of consumers, workers, the community and the environment. We strive to operate in a socially ethical and environmentally sustainable manner.

A few things we do to lessen our impact…

Recycling

• As a company rule, we recycle everything: hardware, paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc.
• 100% of office paper is recycled (athough the printer is rarely used). For example, all invoicing is done via email and all design proof pages are presented online.

Communications

• The majority of our meetings are handled via phone, email and webcast so our clients rarely need to drive to meet us.

Workspace

• We use 100% natural light during work hours thanks to skylights and extra-large windows.
• At our downtown location we can walk to client locations and access a number of local venues by foot, bike or transit.

Equipment & Energy

• We only use energy-efficient computers and LCD monitors with very low levels of energy consumption. (Energy-Star Certified®)
• Our servers and computers all “hybernate” at low power frequencies during non-business hours.
• When recycling is not an option, we properly dispose of all electronic equipment. Nothing goes to a landfill.

Transportation

• Our employees usually commute via bicycle, walking or public transit.
