Environmental Considerations
Specializing in vintage and antique items aligns our business with an environmentally conscious ethos, fostering a field that not only operates but thrives sustainably. With many of our items boasting decades of history, we breathe new life into high-quality valuables that can be cherished and utilized without necessitating new purchases. At Accipiter Sales & Services, we are steadfast in our commitment to these principles and continually seek ways to minimize our environmental footprint.
The majority of our products are currently sourced and sold locally, reducing the reliance on imports and mitigating the need for air travel - a significant contributor to carbon emissions. Furthermore, we prioritize minimal packaging by ordering only the smallest necessary quantities, enabling us to continually explore newer and more eco-friendly materials with each order. Additionally, we offer a range of packaging options, including a bare minimum option for customers who simply desire their product with any accompanying written materials, such as specification sheets and bills of sale provided in digital format.
Community
At Accipiter Sales & Services we deeply appreciate the richness of our shared stories, history, and community. We recognize the profound benefits and privileges we gain from our surroundings and feel a natural responsibility to give back to those around us. We actively support a range of initiatives that reflect our commitment to fostering positive change. This includes local charities such as The Toronto SickKids Hospital, international organizations like Wikipedia, and grassroots ventures such as Kid2Kid, where we are proud to be annual sponsors.
​
Our contributions are an expression of our core values, emphasizing compassion, collaboration, and the power of community. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to creating meaningful impact and nurturing the bonds that make us stronger together. Through these efforts, we strive to leave a lasting legacy of generosity, ensuring a brighter future for all.
