Ontario Excavac Sustainability report

Environmentally Responsible Leadership

Businesses today do not have the luxury of paying lip service to environmentally sustainable and responsible practices. The expectation from consumers is nothing short of empirical proof that companies are investing in protecting the planet and conducting business responsibly and ethically at all times. Businesses are accountable for their actions and transparency is paramount.

Ontario Excavac leads the way in sustainable hydrovac excavation, repair, and rehabilitation for underground utilities. OE had an impressive story to tell so they approached Thornley Marketing Communications to help them bring their sustainable practices to life in their first annual sustainability report. The report needed to communicate OE’s unique and innovative approach to sustainable hydro-excavation and how the company contributes to a safer, more socially responsible, and sustainable industry. I teamed up with David Thorne Branding & Design to design the report and to ensure the document was graphically compelling and reflected OE’s brand and leadership voice.

“OE has some large and sophisticated customers. OE sought to position itself as an industry leader not just in environmental sustainability, but across the entire business. Yvette took on this important and pivotal assignment for our company. She expertly communicated our company’s commitment to sustainability, safety and savings. The project was completed on time and on budget. I am very pleased with the report and the outcome - our customers gave us unreserved praise for our efforts and the informative report.” Barry Wood, CEO, Ontario Excavac

Although creating an annual report can seem like a daunting task for organizations, careful planning, a clear editorial outline and excellent project management can make the process a seamless and satisfying experience for the company’s executive team.
