How green is Globe?<\/h1>\n

Globe Does Its Part!<\/h2>\n

The environment is top of mind for all Globe Car Rental Staff. We do our part by having formal environmental policies, using products that are sustainable, recycled or recyclable and adopting environmentally sound work processes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”764″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”1929″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section is_container=”true”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

IN GOING GREEN, GLOBE INCORPORATED 14 POLICIES:<\/h2>\n
\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”Office Supplies”]We are continuously choosing suppliers that offer environmentally friendly paper and a wide range of office supplies needed for our car rental operation.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Printer Cartridges”]We use double sided paper to print the car hire agreement cutting paper usage in half. Same for the paper used at the car rental kiosk. We recycle our printer cartridges thereby reducing waste and aiding the environment.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Filtered Water”]We provide mineral water at all our car rental agency so that our customers and employees can enjoy the taste of pure water.\u00a0 Nothing is like great tasting water.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”We Recycle Our Tires”]In partnership with\u00a0RECYC-QU\u00c9BEC\u00a0<\/a><\/u>(Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise de r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration et de recyclage des Pneus), on a monthly basis old car rental tires are picked up and recycled for other uses.\u00a0 At cost of $3\/tire recuperation fee, Globe saves thousands of car tires every year.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Oil & Filters are Recycled”]Our mechanics performs several hundred oil changes a year to keep our rental cars in top shape; so you could imagine how much used oil we have, even though we use the best synthetic oil and filters on the market! Every few months,\u00a0our recycler<\/a><\/u>\u00a0comes by to pick up our used car engine oil and filters for recycling.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Conserve Energy”]At Globe Car Rental in Montreal, Canada we estimated that one computer workstation uses about 240\u00a0watts of power on average. This is why we have a policy in place to always shut down our computers at the end of the day, so as not to waste additional electricity.\u00a0 And when unmanned, the screens are set to go into sleep mode after 10 minutes of no activity further reducing our carbon foot print.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Energy Saving Lighting”]Did you know that 44% of the electricity bill in an average office is attributed to lighting? We make it a habit to turn off our car rental office lights when no one is present and utilize natural light whenever possible.\u00a0\u00a0 And, since 2008, we switched all electrical light bulbs to fluorescents.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Heating & Cooling Optimization”]If it\u2019s hot outside, it\u2019s cool and comfortable in our car rental agency. We strive to ensure that we optimize our heating and cooling systems by reducing the temperature so that our offices are not too hot or too cold.\u00a0 We also have an Energy Star thermostat which is programmable according to our opening\/closing hours.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Paperless environment”]Whenever possible, we follow the paperless route,thus saving thousands of trees a year. Car rental agreements, receipts, claims, and follow-up documentation are emailed rather than printed or posted. \u00a0We are striving to influence clients to accept a paperless transaction whereby the car hire rental agreement and car rental condition reports are signed digitally and emailed rather than printed.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Paper Recycling”]Did you know that paper and\/or paper products accounts for more than 33% of all Canada\u2019s waste? We encourage paper recycling by having designated bins in all our rental car offices. We recycle all rental agreement jackets, and some go as far as making their own scrap blocks from scrap paper.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Montreal Car Rental Fleet”]About 68% of our car rentals in Montrea, Canada are fuel efficient.\u00a0 This allows us to compensate climate change by reducing our carbon footprint in the environment.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Fleet Maintenance Optimization”]We make sure that all our rental cars’ tires are properly aligned, balanced and inflated in order to sustain optimal fuel efficiency.\u00a0 Many other car rental agencies neglect this important task resulting in pre-mature tire wear and higher fuel consumption to the client.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Air filtration system”]Breathing clean air reduces the chances of our staff and our loyal rent-a-car customers from catching a cold, and is beneficial to our allergy sufferers and asthmatics.\u00a0 Our Swiss made industrial quality air purifier\u00a0IQair<\/a><\/u>\u00a0removes contaminants and carbon from the air at our Mont-Royal branch.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Used Office Furniture”]At our continual effort to contribute in saving the environment, we purchase used or recycled office furniture when possible.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column]\n\t\t
