Our People Are Our Greatest Asset
Our corporate initiatives are driven by our belief that our people are our greatest asset. Employees are encouraged to continue their career development by enrolling in higher education courses and seminars. Our Educational Assistance Program provides reimbursement of tuition and textbooks for successful completion.
In addition to educational advancement, we reward our employees for their continued service through our Career Achievement Awards Program. We celebrate work milestones every five years and provide our employees with a momento for their contribution to the Company.

We endeavor to minimize the environmental impact of our operations. In 2014 after 20 years in our previous Head and Ontario regional office, we had outgrown our facility. The decision was made to enter into a build to suit arrangement. The building was completed in 2014 and attained a LEED®-NC Silver certification which is an internationally recognized green building certification. The environmentally friendly aspects of the building include rainwater harvesting for irrigation, advanced lighting controls, low-flow water fixtures, a white roof to reduce urban heat, and multiple recycling bins to increase waste diversion.
