Clothing drive

CLOTHES SWAP FOR EARTH DAY

To mark Earth Day on April 23, Cherry and Madano organized a cross-brand clothes swap activity aimed at promoting sustainability and encouraging the reuse of clothing. Employees were invited to bring in clothes they no longer wore, which could then be swapped for something new to them. This event was a huge success the previous year and exceeded expectations again this year. The activity not only fostered a sense of community but also raised awareness about the environmental impact of fast fashion, promoting more eco-friendly choices within the office.

REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

Recognizing that single-use plastics (SUPs) pose significant problems for ecosystems, wildlife, and human health, Hanover embarked on a mission to reduce its consumption of SUPs within its offices and supply chain. After completing an audit detailing the amount of SUPs consumed annually, Hanover implemented measures to reduce or eliminate these items. Initiatives included providing enough cutlery in the office, installing water coolers around the office to avoid the need for bottled water, and removing straws and cling film from the office kitchens. Suppliers have also been audited so Hanover can prioritize those with established sustainability policies and targets.

REDUCING GARBAGE WASTE

NATIONAL Montreal’s offices are located in the prestigious Sun Life Building in downtown Montreal. In 2024, the building conducted a waste, compost, and recycling audit for each floor, revealing that 88% of the waste sent to garbage could have been composted. Following this audit, the office’s green committee received an extensive study on waste sorting, which led to discussions on possible improvements for the two office floors. To address these findings, presentations were made to raise employee awareness about proper waste sorting. Composting bins were added in place of some garbage cans, and new signs were installed to help classify waste effectively. Several other initiatives will continue in 2025 to further reduce the percentage of compostable waste being discarded improperly.

Upcycling workshop

UPCYCLING WORKSHOP

The AXON team organized an upcycling workshop to raise awareness for World Recycling Day on March 18 and Zero Waste Day on March 30. Guided by an external host joining the team virtually, participants from all AXON offices learned how to use embroidery to add handmade and unique detailing to a piece of clothing they love. This initiative aimed to encourage reducing waste and promote upcycling instead of throwing clothes away and buying new items.

A LITTLE PICK-ME-UP FOR THE COMMUNITY

In July, a dedicated group of Time & Space team members took to the streets of Halifax to participate in the Great Nova Scotia Litter Pick-Me-Up, a province-wide initiative aimed at reducing litter and enhancing community pride. Armed with gloves and garbage bags, the enthusiastic volunteers made a tangible impact by helping to keep the city clean and inviting. This effort not only demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship but also their strong connection with the local community.
