Care and concern for the environment
Environmental performance is very important to Courtney Agencies. In 2009 we participated in Climate Smart training to measure our carbon emissions and embarked on a plan to reduce our carbon footprint. We purposely chose an office location situated on a good public transit line and staff are committed to multimodal green transportation. We undertake paperless transactions wherever possible and maintain full electronic records management. On premise, we are serious about waste management and we reuse, reduce, recycle, upcycle and donate still useful equipment and supplies to people and places that can use them most.
We have diverse and loyal clients
Some clients have been with Courtney for 50 years. We’ve literally grown with them. We serve multinational and locally-owned family businesses, and offer them deep knowledge and expertise across many industries.
We embrace technology
We have a history as early adopters of new technology. We transitioned to Single Window Initiative (SWI) in early 2019 which allows for faster customs release times and lets us process any type of shipment without waiting for it to arrive at the Canadian border.
