Some of the reasons why Enmax Corporation was selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers (2011):
created the in-house "Enmax Ecopledge" program, encouraging employees to take specific actions to reduce their environmental footprint at work and at home
employees receive discounts energy efficient products as well as on alternative energy production technologies to its employees for home installations through the company's "EcoRebate Program" -- over 130 employees took advantage of the program last year
has tracked its greenhouse gas emissions since 2004 with the goal of continually reducing emissions (on a per-employee basis) through a variety of measures, ranging from improved fleet efficiencies to the installation of energy efficient lighting
is updating its truck fleet with new gasoline hybrid vehicles, including the first hybrid utility bucket truck in Calgary
a growing power supplier that has established the long-term goal to expand its power generating capacity with lower and non-emitting technologies (versus the currently dominate coal) -- and towards that goal Enmax operates Alberta's largest wind energy farm that includes 37 wind turbines that generates enough energy to power approximately 32,000 homes (80 megawatts)
recently implemented an idle-free zone policy asking drivers to turn off their engines (for both employees and the general public) with signage posted at company facilities around the city
