Corporate Impact
We know that every business makes an impact, intentional or not. Therefore, we believe that building better includes improving how we operate daily. We strive to be intentional with our decisions and how they impact our people, communities, and the environment.
Zenith donates 1% of our annual sales to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment. As a 1% For the Planet member, we are accountable to this annual commitment, and we can be assured that our donations are going to vetted, trusted nonprofits.
Vancity Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative whose vision is to redefine wealth in a way that furthers the financial, social and environmental well-being of its members and communities. Zenith is proud to be a member of Vancity. One of Canada’s largest Living Wage employers, Vancity also supports local communities and businesses.
Zenith’s environmental stewardship is more than policies; it’s the fundamental way we seek to operate and embed the environment into our everyday decisions and actions. We are committed to continuous improvement in our internal operations to ensure we’re reducing our environmental footprint.
We are proud to operate sustainably and strive to choose approaches with the least environmental impact.
Our workspace is within a LEED-certified building, in a shared office that would otherwise be unoccupied to reduce our overall footprint and share resources. The office is close to public transit and has indoor bike storage and showers to encourage more sustainable commuting.
We realize that integrating into design and construction teams involves personal communication. For this, we encourage and use a combination of teleconferencing, public transport and car-share programs for commuting to and from the site.
Through both individual and team contributions, Zenith supports various organizations in our community via paid volunteer hours for all team members.
