Green Court Reporting Services

Independent Reporters undertook the challenge of the NNRC Green Commission to meet their standards and become the first, and ONLY, court reporting company in Canada to be certified green! The management team at IR felt it was the right thing to do to reduce the impact we make on the environment. We know our industry creates a lot of waste, but by making changes in both our Calgary and Edmonton offices, we are doing our part to minimize our footprint on the planet.

What Did We Do To Go Green?

Here is a brief summary of some of the steps IR took to receive our Green Certification.

Promote paperless transcripts	Print all transcripts two-sided (have been since 1996)
Use minimum 30% recycled paper for transcripts	In-house recycling program for all recyclables
Use electronic memos/emails instead of paper	Turn off all non-essential equipment at night
Use e-waste programs for all electronic disposal	Replace computer equipment with Energy Star equipment
Replace bottled water with in-house pure water system	Use recycled paper for letterhead and promo material
Replace all office lighting with energy efficient lights	Use power saving features on computers/printers
Promote staff to work from home where possible	Deliver invoices electronically instead of printing

Client Benefits

By using Independent Reporters for your court reporting services you can do help us to help the environment. When you place a Green Order you will receive a $15.00 credit on your invoice for each transcript that you order, plus there are also no delivery charges.
(Please note that if you were the examiner and ordered, then we will still need to deliver the original transcript to you for filing purposes. This will incur a delivery charge)

All invoices are now delivered electronically. This provides quicker receipt of the invoice so that you can allocate your costs to your clients.

Transcripts are archived and available 24 hours a day on our repository. If you misplace your transcript you can easily download another copy at your convenience. Don't have a password?
