1.Support Customers in Choosing Green Alternatives

Electric machines are all set to disrupt the equipment industry, and Williams Machinery wants to be at the forefront of this revolution. The technology behind the electric equipment has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, bringing their performance at par with the traditional equipment or even better in some cases.

It is one of our strategic goals to help our customers adopt electric equipment. In addition to helping them bring down emissions and become more sustainable, the adoption of electric equipment can help our customers lower their operational and maintenance costs. Above all, electric equipment has potential to make the work environment safer for their teams.

We offer a wide range of electric equipment including forklifts, shunt trucks, trommel screens, compact loaders, and grinders. We are also working with our OEMs to offer heavy equipment like excavators and loaders in electric versions as they become available. Williams Machinery is a leader in providing full electric material handling solutions to our customers from some of the leading brands like Linde, Doosan, Clark, Konecranes, and Terberg and we are continuously working towards expanding this list.

2.Reforestation

We are partnering with One Tree Planted to support their tree planting initiatives right here in British Columbia. Through this commitment, we expect to plant more than 10,000 trees this year. By committing to reforestation and continued sustainability, in addition to our electric equipment focus, this initiative will help us align with the sustainability efforts of our customers. Many of our customers have CSR plans in place and want to work with companies like us, that have similar values and priorities.

3.Earth Day and Plant-A-Tree Initiative

As a kick-off to this reforestation and tree planting initiative, we are celebrating Earth Day 2022 with a companywide Plant-A-Tree event. As a part of this initiative, we are committing to plant 10 trees for every piece of equipment we sell.

For the Plant-A-Tree Initiative, every employee in the Wesgroup Equipment Family of Companies will receive a seedling that they can plant in their backyard, in a pot, or in a local community space that needs trees. The trees also make a great re-usable Christmas tree if one wants to keep it in a pot and celebrate in a renewable and sustainable manner for years to come.

4.Incentivize And Motivate Employees to Make Sustainable Choices

In addition to encouraging our employees to plant trees, we carry our several other programs to help them go green. We have an internal Green Team which is working on a multitude of initiatives which include:

• Improved recycling at all branches
• Electric charging stations
• High efficiency lighting
• Use of Recycled Paper
• Tips for employees on “Greening Up”
• Community Clean Up Events
