Our workforce, consisting of 40 full-time employees, operates solely within office environments, including at our head office in Toronto in Commerce Court West. Our remaining staff work in office spaces located in Barbados, the United States and Australia. We have advanced the following measures and programs to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact: • Since 2019, we have utilized Notice and Access delivery procedures to reduce consumption of paper products; • At the end of 2023, we installed updated light sensors in our Toronto office to reduce electricity consumption; • We are exploring options to install a solar panel system at our Barbados office; • We are currently formalizing a corporate policy to incentivize low carbon transportation and commuting by our employees; and • We ensure that all of our significant suppliers of goods have in place commitments, plans, targets and initiatives aligned with the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.
