INTRODUCING OUR MOST SUSTAINABLE CHRISTMAS CARD EVER!

Corporate Announcement, Sustainability | Wednesday December 9 2009 5:12 pm

This year instead of sending hard copy Christmas cards to our clients, we have decided to try something new.  Every year we deliver hundreds of cards, which when done in hard copy through the mail, has a significant impact with respect to paper, ink, transport and carbon emissions.  We would much rather have a positive impact on the environment and, as you will see in the card, add the money we save to a holiday contribution fund that we will make to a worthy cause that has a positive impact in people’s lives.  We feel that this new approach is a good demonstration of our Think Long Term philosophy.

E-Card: merry-christmas-from-fransen-engineering

On behalf of everyone at Fransen, we would like to wish you and your family the very best this holiday season and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
