Canada Post improves health & safety stats

In 2009, Canada Post reduced lost-time accidents by 22% and raised $1.6m for mental health, according to the Corporation’s third annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. Improving safety and preventing accidents remained a top priority in 2009, as the Corporation built on the work of previous years. As a result, lost-time accidents decreased by more than 22%, including a 21% reduction in slips, trips and falls, and injuries from manual material handling.

“As a company, we believe that corporate responsibility is integral to the good functioning of our business. Our CSR program helps us innovate, create a safer workplace and better manage risk,” said Moya Greene, president and CEO at Canada Post.

The 2009 CSR Report also highlights Canada Post’s community involvement and environmental initiatives. Through the generous support of customers, suppliers and the general public, Canada Post employees raised more than $1.6m for the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health-the Corporation’s cause of choice-in 2009. The Foundation also handed out more than $1m in grants (and an additional $1.5m will be distributed this fall), making a real difference to people suffering from mental health issues by helping the organisations that help them. An additional $2.3m was raised for United Way.
