Our facility is a working representation of our philosophy.
Our plant is completely GreenSafe!
From the recapture of waste and rain water for irrigation and
sanitary uses to the sound reducing construction to the energy
efficient machinery to the exterior design which adapts and
incorporates aspects of local and historic architecture, GreenSafe
is the model of the responsible corporate citizen.
Our LEED rated facilities insure that wherever we can, we maximize
energy efficiency we use solar panels and wind turbines.
Our feedstock is sequestered inside a secure facility which insures that there is no unsightly appliance debris or mounds of scrapped materials.
GreenSafe is determined to be both the employer
of choice and a community leader in every facility location.
As an employer GreenSafe is committed to providing competitive
salaries and industry leading benefits packages, designed to let the
employee determine where their benefit dollars are spent. Amenities
like flat-screen satellite television in the employees lounge are
just a small part of our commitment to the GreenSafe workforce.
Although many of the communities are accustomed to seasonal
patterns of employment GreenSafe offers secure full-time
opportunities.
“Safe” is half of our name, so half our focus is on health and
safety. Our plants meet or exceed all safety regulations and we
maintain a rigorous schedule of regular training in safety, first
aid and emergency preparedness.
Sleep in on your Birthday!! That’s right, in addition to statutory
holidays and the annual maintenance shut down, employees also
receive their date of birth [or the Friday prior, should it fall on
a weekend] as part of their vacation package. [Employees whose
birthday falls on Feb 29 in leap year may choose any alternate date
in non-leap years.]
Our employees are encouraged to make use of our Continuous Learning
Program, where successful completion of any accredited educational
course sees a tuition rebate from GreenSafe.
Wellness is a priority! In cooperation with local businesses,
GreenSafe provides incentives for employees and their family members
to pursue healthy choices for exercise and lifestyle. In our
smoke-free work environment, we insure a clean air work environment
and provide support for employees wishing to quit smoking.
We don’t forget the children! Year round team sports in the
community see Team GreenSafe participants of all ages taking part,
while GreenSafe also offers support for our local future Olympians
in individual sports like skating, gymnastics and swimming
Christmas is a special time at GreenSafe – Santa never misses the
GreenSafe Children’s party, where entertainers and treats keep the
children occupied until it is time to claim their presents! Our
workforce and their guests attend the annual Christmas Dinner Dance,
where a great evening is ended with safe transport home, courtesy of
the company.
The first day of School Vacation in the summer coincides with the
GreenSafe Fun Day for GreenSafe families – games, activities, a BBQ
and live entertainment make for a great kick-off to the summer.
“Making the world a better place one child at a time”.
As a leader in the ‘green’ business milieu, GreenSafe looks to the
future of the communities we call home.
With this in mind, GreenSafe begins at the beginning with elementary
school breakfast programs.
GreenSafe also sponsors after-school learning help and summer
adventure learning. GreenSafe is proud of being a Canadian Company
and wants to share that pride by sponsoring student exchanges with
cities across
Our future as a country will rest upon the intellect of its people –
GreenSafe sponsors the annual “GreenSafe Science Fair” where
students are encouraged to explore science in all aspects with an
eye to the green technologies of the future. The winners will be
rewarded with a trip to one of
University and college scholarship programs help insure that the
brightest minds get the best chance to develop regardless of their
financial circumstances.
Further, we are encouraging Co-Op liaison with
leading Colleges and Universities whose Engineering Science and
Environmental Science students seek advancement in core disciplines
related to Green Technologies.
“The best corporate citizens are also the best community citizens”
GreenSafe is an avid participant in everything FUN!
The annual end-of-summer “FunFair” brings rides and shows to
the community, with presentations and awards for the children
enrolled in the summer “Adventure Learning” programs.
Recreational facilities to provide soccer, softball and indoor
sports are an integral part of the GreenSafe Community Plan. By
locating in smaller communities GreenSafe has the opportunity to
provide to them facilities that might not otherwise get the
necessary financial support.
GreenSafe is also involved in existing local
culture through sponsorship of theatre, arts, sports tournaments and
cultural festivals.
