By Richard Yerema and Chantel Watkins, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Apr 18, 2021)

Here are some of the reasons why LoyaltyOne, Co. was selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers (2021):

LoyaltyOne conducts annual waste audits and continues to refine its waste reduction strategies (in partnership with Cascades Recovery), expanding its waste diversion program to capture organics, clothing, eyeglasses, e-waste, coffee cups, batteries and writing instruments
LoyaltyOne encourages employees to consider alternate transportation options with transit subsidies, discounts on car-sharing services and corporate memberships for bike-sharing services -- along with a formal work-from-home strategy that has led to a decreased need for physical office space over the past year
LoyaltyOne operates a unique 50,000 square foot LEED Gold-certified customer call centre in Mississauga -- the building features one of the earliest large rooftop solar photovoltaic installations in Canada, with 800 solar panels capable of generating 165 kilowatts of power (enough to power approximately 16 homes)
