As Canada's leading provider of comprehensive waste management services, Waste Management is based in Burlington Ontario with operations across Canada. As a responsible corporation we are committed to protecting human health, natural resources and the environment through sound business practices and waste management operations. We will regularly communicate with and support the environmental needs of our neighbours in the communities in which we do business.

Applicability

The principles of this policy apply on all owned and leased properties and at all contracted operations across Canada.

Continuous Improvement

We will routinely review all of our operations to identify potential impacts and our environmental programs to identify preferred management practices to ensure the company adheres to the principles of continuous improvement and prevention of pollution. We will maintain a training program to ensure that each Waste Management employee has the skills and knowledge to ensure that environmental protection standards are observed and enforced at all times.

Regulatory Compliance

We will work closely with regulatory agencies and industry associations to affect the development of sound environmental protection policies, procedures and legislation. We will as a minimum, assure compliance with our legal requirements and other requirements to which Waste Management subscribes.
