Fostering a more sustainable planet

At Matrox, we recognize our responsibility to the planet and to future generations. That’s why our sustainability initiatives focus on reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainable resource use across operations.

Environmental stewardship

An Environmental Committee was set up to promote environmental awareness across the company and to help achieve our sustainability goals.

The Environmental Committee conducted an audit to assess the company’s carbon footprint. Our carbon footprint analysis demonstrated that we can continue to work toward building a greener future by:

Increasing operating efficiencies throughout the organization
Lowering electrical usage
Improving our recycling habits
Optimizing IT operations
Decreasing paper usage
Reducing landfill waste
Using EV charging stations

Waste reduction initiatives: Product & process waste and substance control

We continuously work on improving the way we manage product waste. To minimize environmental impact, we conform to legislation concerning waste from electrical and electronic equipment, packaging, and batteries.

Our policies ensure that none of our products or manufacturing processes contain any regulated materials or substances beyond tolerable amounts. These policies include compliance to international and local regulations with regards to controlled substances including, but not limited to, ozone-depleting substances which are regulated under the Montreal Protocol, radioactive materials, designated substances, and other elements that are harmful to the environment.

We will continue to adjust our processes as environmental policies and compliance requirements evolve.

Energy efficiency initiatives: Operational and maintenance initiatives

Reducing non-hazardous waste destined for landfills is an important step towards sustainability. To limit the amount of waste we produce, we reuse and recycle wherever possible. Our largest sources of non-hazardous waste include packaging materials such as bubble wrap, polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, and corrugated cardboard. When disposal is required, we ensure that all waste is disposed of responsibly.
