Over 20 years of doing good business – Creating a legacy for our planet, children and community.
A huge thank you goes out to you, our customers and vendors, for making our story possible. You’ve made it possible for VeriForm to commit to innovation, growth and sustainable business philosophies, which has lead us to this remarkable milestone…..20 years of being in business, from 1997 to 2017!
At VeriForm, we’ve survived roadblocks and recessions. But what’s allowed us to keep the business resilient is our commitment to 3 core principles while working with you:
Community
We believe in supporting our local community so that the impact lasts long past our company’s existence. Our partnership with the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and many other non-profit organizations like the Food Bank and Meals on Wheels keeps us linked to our neighbours. In fact we strongly believe that a business must have heart that goes beyond just “making a profit.”
Sustainability
At VeriForm, we take our environmental footprint seriously. VeriForm is among global leaders like Google, Nike and HSBSC that have committed to making their entire operations carbon neutral.
We are in fact the first manufacturer in the Waterloo region to deliver on this promise by cutting our annual CO2 emissions from 242 tonnes to under 61 tonnes. That is a 75% reduction all while expanding our business space by 146%, which makes it all the more incredible that our staff achieved this reduction. And since 2015 we have purchased carbon offsets from Canadian sources to make us carbon neutral!
Education
We are committed to empowering our employees and local community through the power of education. We see it as the greatest opportunity to bring value to society and influence the future, for the better. Not only do we pay for our staff to take classes after work that do not need to be work related, we also support the non-profit Suzuki String School of Guelph through volunteering and generous financial support, since 2011, to enable children for financially strapped families to attend weekly classes.
VeriForm’s vision for the future is deeply rooted in our 3 pillars of focus. We believe that investing in our customers, employees and local community will in time help to build a better, more successful world for future generations. The future starts now, at VeriForm.
