Environmental, Social, and Governance

Here’s how we are putting our values into practice!

Our Commitment

Our ESG Mission

At Rocky Mountain Solar, we believe in putting people first. Our ESG Committee was formed by a passionate team of employees who are dedicated to creating real value in our city. Whether it’s raising awareness about sustainable energy, investing in our people, or giving back to our local community, we’re on a mission to achieve global sustainability!

Our Approach

Giving Back

Our ESG Committee works to organize, facilitate, and participate in community outreach events such as:

Volunteering at the Community Kitchen of Calgary
Sponsoring the 2024 Trico Centre Charity Golf Classic
Supporting the Hockey Marathon for Kids
Volunteering at the Calgary Mustard Seed

Raising Awareness

Rocky Mountain Solar Co. is raising awareness about sustainable energy practices by educating others about solar solutions. Here’s how!

Investing In Our People

As a Calgary-based company, we understand the importance of supporting local and advocating for our team. Here are just some of the ways we do so:

We regularly collaborate with Calgary Economic Development to help advance their mission of building a stronger local economy
We proudly support our team as an Alberta Living Wage Employer
We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including an Employee and Family Assistance Program, to ensure our employees are physically, mentally and financially supported

Charity of Choice Program

We’ve partnered with five local charities to offer customers an opportunity to support one of the following initiatives:

Arrays for The Alex

The Alex provides accessible health and social services to improve the lives of those in crisis. We offer donations of $200 per system in support of the Alex’s vision to better the Calgary Community.

Energy for Ecosystems

Alberta Ecotrust Foundation is a charity that leads and catalyzes environmental and climate action projects that enhance the well-being of Alberta’s communities. Each contribution of $200 per system is invested in their programs to further advance a healthy ecosystem for all Albertans!

Kilowatts for KidSport

Every KidSport donation through Rocky Mountain Solar Co. helps a local child in need. We support KidSport by donating a protective hockey helmet ($200 in value) to support their mission.

Panels for Pets

When you choose Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS), Rocky Mountain Solar Co. will help provide $200 in animal care packages to support its commitment to rescuing animals in need.

Volts for Veterans

Choosing the Calgary Veterans Services Society through Rocky Mountain Solar Co. will supply their local food bank with $200 in food and essential resources to veterans facing food insecurity.

Rocky Mountain Solar Co. is Proud to be a Living Wage Employer

We reject the notion that a company’s worth is defined solely by its bottom line, just as an individual’s worth shouldn’t be defined by their bank account. We pay every single employee a living wage to ensure Rocky Mountain Solar remains a great place to work.

“Together, we are shifting our global economy from a system that profits few to one that benefits all: advancing a new model that moves from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to generation, and from prioritizing individualism to embracing interdependence.”
– B Corporation

We’re a Certified B Corporation

B Corporation Declaration of Interdependence

We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good. This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation – the B Corporation – which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. As Certified B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:

That we must be the change we seek in the world.
That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.

Certified, Rocky Mountain Solar Co.
