We Conserve:
Key Points

Simple Messaging:  the wordmark is an indication that this organization / company / government is committed to conservation.

A meaningful commitment: The statement, "we conserve" should be backed up by action with respect to your internal commitment to conservation, particular products and services, and support for conservation in the community

Transparency: Members of the public should have easy access to supporting information regarding the scope and depth of the use of the wordmark. 

Non-controversial: the wordmark should only be used to promote projects, programs, products and services that support conservation.

Peer and public monitoring: Since the wordmark is intended to be used for publicity purposes, bad publicity is, in essence, the best way of managing any abuse of the wordmark.
 

     "We Conserve."   
say it.  use it.

 

We Conserve Artwork:  USER AGREEMENT

Over the past couple of years, we've been testing "We Conserve" in different projects, partnerships and campaigns, all with tremendous results.

Now it's your turn, subject to some simple rules...

Oakville ConservesAnyone can say "I conserve" or "we conserve".  And that's exactly what we want you to do -- use "I conserve" as a statement of personal commitment and "we conserve" as a statement of common commitment.

The wordmarks (weconserve and iconserve), go a step further by providing a common brand to reflect a common commitment to conservation. Use it alongside your own, or develop an integrated wordmark integrating the font style and two-tone colour scheme.

And the more groups, businesses, and governments that say We Conserve, the stronger our movement will become.
 

Brand Use Agreement

The “We Conserve” wordmark is the property of the Conservation Council of Ontario.

As with all our work, the We Conserve wordmark is "shareware" -- that is to say we will share it freely with all those who share our mission of a fostering a conserver society.

We strongly recommend that all groups or businesses using the We Conserve wordmark first visit the GreenLeader section of this site and have:

 a public statement of your commitment, readily available to the public;
 a conservation plan, scaled to the size and nature of your activities and backed up by the
appropriate training, accreditation and investments;
 a commitment to continual improvements in your environmental performance, both with respect to your operations and the products and/or services you provide;
 a commitment to support the conservation movement.

Use of the “We Conserve” wordmark does not constitute an endorsement of any particular company, organization, government, product or service by the Conservation Council of Ontario, unless specifically approved by the Board of Directors of the Council.

The Council reserves the right to withdraw its approval for use of the wordmark if, in the Board’s view, it is being used to promote an activity, product or service, or any organization that is of a contentious nature or otherwise inconsistent with the principles of conservation.
