CSR policy

Corporate Social Responsibility
Communica Public Affairs recognizes the value of establishing and maintaining progressive social and environmental practices.  This is achieved through the adoption of best practices and operating procedures that reflect the health, safety and environmental priorities of our Company. These working priorities will be reflected in our interactions with the companies, First Nations and local communities that we work with.  

We believe that this approach bolsters the credibility of the work we do, provides additional value to our clients and increases a positive perception of our Company in the public eye. 

Environment
Our operations will set an example of industry leadership in the development and implementation of strategies and polices that result in leading environmental practices, and address climate change while still providing success for our clients and business partners. 

Communica strives to make its operations carbon neutral, and takes progressive action to be carbon negative where possible. This can be achieved efficiently, using models to provide accurate estimates of our carbon footprint and guiding targeted offset investments that serve to further lever our image and status in the consulting field.   

Accordingly, we will:

• encourage a culture of recycling and energy conservation within our daily working environment; and
• strive to use sustainable suppliers and products, including paper, inks and other daily use items.

First Nations Operational Principles 
Communica recognizes and works with First Nations as a government. Our staff will seek to know the communities we operate in, and will work with appropriate levels of First Nations representation. 

Communica strives to develop shared objectives between our company, our clients and First Nations.  Transparency is the key to building trust in this regard. This same principle can also be transferred across to the non-aboriginal communities that we engage with on behalf of our clients.
