Associated Engineering has made a major commitment to help reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming by establishing a carbon neutral policy. Under this policy, the company will implement measures to reduce or mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and will invest in carbon offset projects to become carbon neutral.

We will identify sources of greenhouse gases from our offices, estimate our carbon equivalents generation rate, and identify additional measures that will reduce or mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. We will also invest in carbon offset initiatives. Carbon offsets enable anyone to reduce their carbon footprint by supporting projects that reduce carbon dioxide. Associated Engineering is taking the unique approach of establishing and managing our own carbon offset fund. This will allow our management team to assess possible investments to gain assurance the intended carbon offset is achieved. Investments in the communities where the firm's employees live and work will be given priority, which is directly linked with the company's Strategic goal of helping to build better communities.

Kerry Rudd, P.Eng., President & CEO of Associated Engineering, advises, "We want to become an active contributor to the solution to global warming by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and supporting other environment-friendly initiatives."
