Greenware Products believes our responsibility extends far beyond our own impacts. We have cultivated strong relationships with other individuals, organizations, and communities that share our values. By working in this way, we can improve the quality of our programs and increase the reach of our message.
As of April 2009, Greenware Products’ office and warehouse facilities became bullfrogpoweredTM2with 100% green electricity. We are proud to be among the first companies in British Columbia to source its electricity from Bullfrog Power, Canada’s leading green electricity provider. Bullfrog Power is the only company providing everyone in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia with a 100% low-impact renewable electricity choice.
Bullfrog Power’s green electricity comes exclusively from wind and hydro facilities that have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada, under its EcoLogoTM2program, instead of from carbon-intensive sources like coal and natural gas or from higher impact hydro facilities. With Bullfrog Power, we are taking a stand for low-impact renewable electricity to further reduce our environmental impact and create a cleaner world for today and tomorrow.
Choosing low-impact renewable electricity is an easy way to do your part to help fight climate change and create a healthier environment. To see how you can become Bullfrog Powered, or to learn more about Bullfrog Power, click here.
We have joined 1% FOR THE PLANET, an alliance of businesses that believe in providing financial support to environmental initiatives. It is your purchases that make this support possible. Every time you buy from Greenware Products, 1% of the pre-tax total goes to Canadian environmental causes. Thank you for helping to make things better.
As an independent third party, 1% FOR THE PLANET confirms that member businesses meet their donation commitments. 1% FOR THE PLANET also verifies that the groups receiving funds have clear, worthwhile goals directly related to the environment. These measures deepen our commitment to supporting conservation of wild places.
In an effort to reduce bureaucracy and encourage participating businesses to develop independent relationships with the groups they support, 1% FOR THE PLANET members donate directly to their choice of approved organizations. Greenware Products annually supports one or more of these non-profits chosen by the team. Greenware Products further matches our team members’ contributions to those organizations. These relationships are a real positive for our team, enabling them to get involved and affect change firsthand.
World Partnership Walk
The World Partnership Walk is Canada’s largest annual event dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight global poverty.
Organized by volunteers in nine different cities across the country, the walk attracts tens of thousands of Canadians united in a common effort to alleviate global poverty and support international development. Greenware Products and its employees are cognisant of our growing roles as global citizens, and we are committed to help foster others in less developed areas.
All funds raised (100%) go directly to international development initiatives. Not one cent is spent on administration. Funds raised by the walk help the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) to leverage additional support from major donors like the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
