Our staff members are proud to support:

Environmental Responsibility Initiatives

Westman’s business plan and corporate vision include statements about reducing our impact on the environment. Westman’s staff have corporate objects to recommend/implement ways our business can reduce our impact on the environment and thus they take personal ownership in this objective.

• Westman is aligned with the SCTE Energy 2020 program.  This ensures we select hardware and processes which use less energy. 
• Systems such as building heating/cooling are selected in part by energy efficiency.
• Set back thermostats are deployed at 1906 Park Ave office.
• Westman recently completed an LED lighting upgrade at our 1906 Park Ave office which will save an estimated 92400 kWh annually.
• Westman has reduced water consumption at our 1906 Park Ave office by 1.5 million liters annually since 2009.
• Westman has e-waste and business recycling systems/processes in place which saves about 200 cubic meters of electronic waste from hitting the landfill.
• Westman has implemented workforce management tools to reduce vehicular travel and fuel consumption. Although we have room for improvement, we have reduced vehicle idle time by 46,000 minutes annually.
• Westman selects vehicles in part by energy efficiency. Our newest Eco diesel trucks consume about 20% less fuel than our traditional fleet vehicles.
• Westman implemented process and procedure which reduces paper and ink consumption.
• By fibre connecting communities we reduce energy consumption by:
  • Fewer traditional head ends - less energy use, less electronics
  • Fewer trips to each community for head end maintenance/repair
