As a 2^nd generation, independent family-run business in Kingston, Ontario, it is important to us to operate in a sustainable way and to also provide our clients with solutions that help them to accomplish this same goal.

Apart from our internal efforts to reduce our environmental footprint, we are constantly challenging ourselves to provide our clients with new and innovative ways to become more sustainable. To that end, we have begun labelling these products & solutions with “Levac Green” to raise awareness about more sustainable products and services.
