Since Long View was founded, our leaders have worked hard to create a compassionate culture where staff members view each other as family. We take pride in how our “culture of caring” has become a hallmark of our company. As a result, we offer our staff amazing support in dealing with problems at work or at home – we quickly respond to anyone having difficulties or requiring assistance of any kind.

Caring For Our Community

Long View’s culture of caring extends beyond our company. We believe Long View has shown extraordinary commitment to community involvement and social responsibility — at a level that surpasses traditional corporate involvement. Long View has supported over 40 different causes and our staff members regularly volunteer for many of these causes.

Some of the charities we support include:

• Canadian Cancer Society
• Rethink Breast Cancer
• Heart Beats Children’s Society
• Red Cross Disaster Relief
• Respite USA
• High school athletics programs
• Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation
• Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta
• United Way
• Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

The diversity of our growing staff means that disasters, though seemingly far away, often strike close to home. A few initiatives we have taken on include:

• Red Cross and United Way Disaster Relief: Long View assisted relief efforts after the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, sent aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and supported redevelopment efforts after the Southeast Asian Tsunami. Responsible global citizenship is an important part of operating with integrity – one of Long View’s essential core values.
• Laptop donations: Led by the relationships and efforts of some Long View staff members, the company donated laptops to be used by primary school children in the Jamaican town of Lucea.

Caring for the Environment

Reduce C02 Emissions with Telepresence

Long View is proud to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by embracing technology that allows us to reduce business travel. Using a business video solution, Telepresence, our staff and manufacturing partners stay connected without traveling.

• Based on our reduced travel, we have avoided contributing to an average of 118 metric tons of CO2 per year; this is equivalent to reducing the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 23 vehicles, and reducing the CO2 emissions from the total energy use of 10 homes per year
• This is also the amount of CO2 sequestered annually by 25.2 acres of pine or fir forest
