AXYS Green Team

AXYS Initiatives

In an effort to 'walk the talk', AXYS employees from every division work together on the Green Team to make AXYS an energy efficient and environmentally friendly office. These representatives pass on information and monitor their divisions’ activities to compete in company-wide contests for the most people using environmentally-friendly transportation and the most recycling and reduction in wastes per division. The Green Team is also responsible for tracking energy and materials saved with the new initiatives.

Green Facts

The Green Facts series is designed to educate employees on issues in and around the workplace. They're full of interesting facts and ideas you can implement at your home and office.

What Can You Do?

Corporate

One of our initiatives is to get people in AXYS commuting in a green manner. And thanks to the Commuter Challenge put on by Komex International, we get to indulge in a little friendly competition at the same time! You and your company can join the fun while feeling good about helping the environment. Just sign up at www.spin.komex.com.

To compete, you must travel to work (or other place other than home you habitually spend your days) and back solely by self-propelled transport. And as an extra incentive to stay active when the temperature drops, the colder it is, the more points you get for that day's commute! Sign up and join us on the pathways!

Individuals
