Sunnybrook Named One of Canada's Greenest Employers for 2009

Sunnybrook was recently recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2009. Now in its 3rd year and formally known as Canada's Most Earth-Friendly Employers, the competition is organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes employers that are leaders in integrating environmental principles into their corporate culture and have developed environmentally friendly programs that are recognized not only within the facility but also throughout the community.

Sunnybrook was selected based on unique environmental initiatives and programs that have been implemented in recent years such as the Earth Matters Showcase held in September 2008 that saw over 1,300 employees in attendance and the Honeywell Energy and Facility Renewal program that will see Sunnybrook reduce its annual greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 9,000 metric tons - an amount equivalent to taking 1,400 cars off of the road.  Many other projects implemented in the operating rooms, the parking and transportation services department and environmental services have also helped to broadcast Sunnybrook’s environmental leadership.

The winners of this year’s competition will be announced in a special “green” issue of Maclean’s magazine out on newsstands on April 16 just in time for Earth Day on April 22. Special editorial features will also be featured
