Navigator is committed to sustainable practices. As part of this commitment, Navigator has partnered with Tree Canada, a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments, in every province across the country. Navigator will be a proud supporter of Tree Canada’s National Greening Program to compensate for our flight travel carbon emissions and to meaningfully impact our environment. With our contribution, trees will be planted in every province in which we operate!

Our paper is forestry certified

FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council)-certified paper is our product of choice. By choosing FSC-certified products, we commit to protecting wildlife habitats and clean water, and to keeping forests healthy for generations to come.

Our Toronto home at 121 King St. West was evaluated on sustainability, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality and innovations in operations, achieving LEED Gold Status.

Our lights go off automatically each evening, and all of our cleaning products are chemical-free.
