In today’s world, we are seeing an increased number of social, health and environmental challenges. This awareness has prompted Moneris to want to contribute towards a more sustainable future through our operations and services.
Moneris’ first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report is an opportunity to share our vision on how we address and respond to these varying issues. Our ESG framework is based off the following four guiding principles: Team members, Community, Environment & Governance. It outlines our achievements in 2022 and states our commitment to do more with upcoming initiatives. Here is a brief overview.
Moneris believes our strength as a company depends on our ability to come together, innovate, and support one another. So, in 2022, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) became one of Moneris’ top 10 priorities. Moneris aims to provide good working conditions and create wellness initiatives that protect our team’s financial, physical and mental health.
Our Hybrid Work Environment Standard is an example of this, allowing leaders to choose a suitable work model for their team (i.e., hybrid, fully remote or fully onsite). Moneris also strives to promote growth and development, which is what inspired us to build a virtual training space accessible to all team members and start our new graduate program -- Start@Moneris.

Moneris is focused on decreasing the environmental footprint of our operations and payment solutions. Thanks to the implementation of new practices, we have already seen a reduction in our waste, our greenhouse gas emissions, and the overall impact of our services.
We are proud to eliminate 1.5 tonnes of plastic waste annually through our Good Enough vs Good as New policy, work with our suppliers to minimize ecological effects and organize park cleanups, as well as fundraisers for local environmental organizations. Not to mention, 63% of our terminals are purchased from EcoVadis-certified manufacturers and 99.95% of devices that end up at Moneris repair centres are put back into working order.
