At ICS, we believe in fostering a strong community and paying our good fortune forward. For example, our staff donates to participate in casual Friday at the office with proceeds going to the Vancouver Food Bank.
When it comes time to hold a conference, our managers are always interested in engaging socially conscious local suppliers and disadvantaged citizens wherever possible.
Green Initiatives
It goes without saying, that large events can create a substantial amount of waste, but by applying simple measures, we can go a long way to reduce our environmental impact. At ICS, we maintain an extensive Green Policies & Procedures manual that will give you plenty of ideas for reducing the environmental impact of your event.
ICS also practices green initiatives in-house through our recycling program, print reduction and energy efficient practices. For example, we annually print over 300,000 copies. By defaulting our printing to double-sided, we save approximately 200,000 sheets of paper each year. This equals one ton of paper saved!
