A champion for the environment

As Canadian leaders in electronic payment processing since 1985, Telpay’s core business has helped countless businesses reduce their impact on the environment by eliminating the paper cheque function in their company bookkeeping. As such, we feel poised to be a leader in the corporate environmental movement. 

With Telpay's direct business connections of over 100,000 businesses across Canada, we occupy a distinct leadership position which we hope to use to inspire others to action. By the simple function of eliminating paper cheques, Telpay’s system has already saved the equivalent of a mature 80,000 tree forest! 

 By documenting and publicizing our own steps towards environmental stewardship, we hope to encourage others. Please check back to this web page for many further developments, announcements, research discoveries and helpful hints!

Our Footprint and Offsets – let’s do better than neutral.   

We at Telpay recognize that the business sector is the biggest contributor to global carbon emissions.  With this in mind, we know that together, we can also make the greatest change.  And we can do it for all the right reasons.  Offsets are a good tool, but only when followed by a strict analysis resulting in reduction targets with deadlines.  And that’s what our 2020 Green Resolutions are all about.  We want to reduce our emissions as much as possible and then actively create our offsets as part of our overall business plan.  

Supporting our Telpay Team - at home and in our communities.        

We believe that our 50+ staff is the best team around!  And together, we’ve come up with a great list of actions that we can take in our own lives and in the wellness of our communities.  Telpay will support these actions with incentives, mini-workshops, external resources, subsidies as well as other strategies as need arises.  With our first all-staff survey, we know that we have a solid group who are already savvy and active.  But all of us want to continue improving!  We can help each other with skills and motivation.  

Our Promise of a Paperless Society

As Canadian leaders in electronic payment processing since 1985, Telpay’s core business has helped countless businesses reduce their impact on the environment by eliminating the paper cheque function in their company bookkeeping. By the simple function of eliminating paper cheques, Telpay’s system has already saved the equivalent of a mature 80,000 tree forest!  By increasing our customer business base, we can also decrease paper use.  We've also made great strides to becoming paperless in our internal business functions, and we look forward to making the next and final step so we can model a paperless company.  Or at least a nearly-paperless company that only uses 100% recycled paper!  

Planting Lots of Trees!

In the spirit of the season of giving, Telpay is pleased to announce a $250,000 gift to the City of Winnipeg’s Million Tree Challenge through Tree Canada.  We are looking at ways that we can be active participants, especially improving our urban core which we know is sorely lacking in trees.   Over the coming 5 years, we look forward to seeing many Telpay Trees throughout the City of Winnipeg.  

Spreading the word far and wide – Let’s make waves.  

In a highly competitive corporate world, we now need to shift gears and look at our collective issues.  The environment is the most time-sensitive issue of our day.  But it also offers us an opportunity to become more aware, that we may solve many problems by working together.  We want to share all our improvements so that we might help others as well.

About the One Million Tree Challenge 

The Million Tree Challenge is a vision to protect and expand Winnipeg’s tree canopy. The goal is to plant a million new trees in Winnipeg as the city’s population grows toward one million residents. The efforts would result in a net expansion of the growth of their tree canopy that will go beyond replacing existing trees lost to age, disease, or other impairments. 

 Planting trees and maintaining our existing forests is a practical and economical way to combat the effects of climate change. Trees beautify our communities, provide shade, and give us a sense of place. If you would like to make your own donation to Winnipeg’s One Million Tree Challenge, visit Trees Winnipeg

Telpay Spring Revitalization of Winnipeg's One Million Tree Challenge

In The Media

Telpay, in association with Tree Canada, is resuming its efforts to revitalize Winnipeg’s environment as part of the One Million Tree Challenge. 

A plan to plant 1,500 trees in residential properties is underway. Trees have been offered to our customers, our billers and other connected business partners located in Winnipeg, as well as friends and family of our Winnipeg staff. 

 Among the organizations that have already engaged in this program is Dakota Community Centre. The Telpay customer has requested 250 trees for its expansive neighbourhood property. 

 Planting trees and maintaining our existing forests is a practical and economical way to combat the effects of climate change. Trees beautify our communities, provide shade and give us a sense of place. If you would like to make your own donation to Winnipeg’s One Million Tree Challenge, visit Winnipeg.ca/milliontrees
