As a pioneer in the communications business, Rogers is no stranger to change. Throughout our history, we’ve adapted to evolving times, including new technology and shifting customer needs. Today, environmental matters are among the key issues we face, and we are committed to applying our culture of innovation to tackling the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability.
Rogers recognizes that environmental stewardship is no longer a question of simply meeting environmental regulations for our operations. Our environmental influence extends beyond our direct operations to our purchasing decisions, to how we engage with our customers, the products we offer, how they are used and disposed. Our responsibility is to ensure that in every aspect of our business we are making efforts to reduce our environmental footprint.
We recognize that environmental sustainability is not something we will achieve overnight. It is a process in which we will engage our employees, suppliers and customers. We will continue to refine our long term vision while at the same time developing short term, practical, measurable targets.
While the production and delivery of communications equipment and services has an environmental footprint that must be managed, Rogers also recognizes the potential of communication technologies to reduce the environmental footprint of our customers, especially in the areas of video, teleconferencing and telepresencing. Part of our approach to sustainability will be to assess and communicate these benefits to our stakeholders.
