Responsibility

Environment

At Yellow Pages Group, we are committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. We proactively integrate environmental considerations into the decisions we make and believe that our programs reflect our determination to act as an environmentally responsible corporate citizen.

Changing the World, One Step at a Time
Yellow Pages Group has announced in April 2009 its participation to the Changing the world, one step at a time program, developed by Équiterre, a leading environmental organization in Quebec, and supported by Green Communities Canada. First Canada wide organization to join this initiative, Yellow Pages Group  is undertaking steps to improve its environmental performance over the next three years.

Providing Eco Content
Our print and online products are available everywhere in Canada and we have been for over 100 years a reliable destination to find local information. This privileged relationship we have built with households, businesses and environmental partners is an opportunity to also become a trusted source of environmental information.

Yellow Pages™ EcoGuide
The Yellow Pages™ EcoGuide includes a directory to help you dispose of more than 400 household items, a comprehensive list of environmental certifications to help you make informed purchase decisions, and a list of 15 simple actions to reduce your household’s ecological footprint.  The EcoGuide was developed in collaboration with a number of leading environmental organizations, including Earth Day Canada, Équiterre and Green Communities Canada, and with the contribution of municipalities and local recycling councils.

Connecting Eco-friendly Businesses with Eco-conscious Consumers
Since 2008, selected Yellow Pages™ directories promote businesses that provide environmentally-preferable products or services or that have leading environmental operational practices.

Our Enviro-Action Team
Yellow Pages Group employees across Canada have come together to form the Enviro-Action Team. They implemented internal programs such as the purchasing of 100% recycled and FSC-certified paper in all our offices, as well as paper reduction initiative, which includes double-sided printing and educating employees about their paper consumption.
