By Richard Yerema and Chantel Watkins, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Jun 15, 2020)
Here are some of the reasons why Reliable Controls Corporation was selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers (2020):
- In keeping with its line of business, Reliable Controls Corporation's head office is a LEED Platinum-certified building with many impressive green features, including a stormwater management system that directs water to a series of vegetated bioswales and rain gardens, unique daylight harvesting controls to enhance lighting, and use of collected rainwater for toilet flushing
- In support of the annual Bike to Work Week, Reliable Controls Corporation employees volunteer to host a bicycle repair clinic one week prior to the event and offers free diagnostics and tune-ups to help colleagues prepare for the week -- the company also encourages non-cycling employees to participate with raffles and prizes for the top three riders who cycle the greatest distances
