Roxton Furniture Limited operates a 98,000 ft2 mixed-use commercial building in Elmira, Ontario. The building, originally constructed in 1903, houses a range of tenants including Enviro-Stewards’ head office, International Teams (charity), artists, piano repair, office supply, Toyota Boshoku’s warehousing, retail appliances and others.
Roxton replenishes 100% of the potable water supplied to its tenants each year by ensuring that an equivalent amount of water is purified (Cup for Cup) in Uganda.
