Environmental responsibilities are an integral part of Nelson’s daily business activity. All employees are responsible and accountable for contributing to a safe working environment, for fostering safe working attitudes, and for operating in an environmentally responsible manner.

Nelson Education Ltd. provides a safe and healthy working environment, and will not compromise the health and safety of any individual. Our goal is to have no accidents and mitigate impacts on the environment by working with our stakeholders, peers and others to promote responsible environmental practices and continuous improvement. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint by offering innovative educational solutions and by conducting day to day business in an environmentally responsible manner. Nelson recycles 100% of its internal paper consumption and is actively involved in aligning its paper purchasing activities for consumer products with environmental certification standards. Post consumer content as well as source manufacturing practices by paper mills are considered in all of our paper purchasing decisions. We are also directing our print suppliers to use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper. The FSC label identifies products that come from a sustainable, environmentally conscious and socially responsible source.

Hanna Paper Ltd is a leading company in the paper recycling industry across Canada and the United States. For the third year in a row, Nelson Education Ltd has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for our role in the preservation of our Planet’s diminishing resources.

We recycle all of our waste paper, bottles, cans and toner cartridges. In fact, in one year Nelson recycled enough paper to save 19,266 trees! So far this year Nelson has printed 45 titles on recycled paper. That is 660,392 lbs of recycled material, or roughly the same weight as 44 elephants! The energy saved during the manufacturing process is enough to power 7 homes for a year. We also used 355,697 less gallons of water, and produced 108,504 lbs less Carbon Dioxide.
