Employee Engagement

		The Environmental Risk Management (ERM) group provides oversight for environmental leadership at CIBC. ERM ensures that our policies and standards are understood and followed. Furthermore, ERM promotes our environmental initiatives and commitments to our employees.

CIBC celebrates Earth Hour™ and Earth Day® CIBC strives to educate, train and motivate our employees to conduct activities in an environmentally responsible manner. Our employees support numerous activities throughout the year focused on making a positive impact on our environment and the community.

In October, the Green Team at our Card Products Division hosted Survivor Eco Island. Employees competed in a series of environmental challenges where they demonstrated their problem solving, endurance and teamwork skills. Employees participated in the following three challenges:

• Can you Green this?
• What is the Green answer?
• Do you have a Green memory?

CIBC capped off the fiscal year with ‘750 Lawrence Unplugged’, the first in a series of employee engagement campaigns at our 750 Lawrence Avenue West, Toronto office location. This campaign supports CIBC’s participation in the Race to Reduce, which is an initiative of CivicAction’s Greening Greater Toronto.

‘750 Lawrence Unplugged’ encourages employees who work at 750 Lawrence to change their habits in ways that will help reduce energy use at work. Specifically, we encouraged employees to power off electronic devices at their workstations such as monitors, printers and task lighting when not in use.
