Borealis was pleased to be recognised by the David Suzuki Foundation and the Pembina Institute last week in Purchasing Carbon Offsets: A Guide for Canadian Consumers, Businesses and Organisations.

While on first glance. Borealis scores "average" in quality performance, if marks for public education are removed, Borealis tied for third among Canadian suppliers in the offset supplier list.

Jeff Calvert, Borealis' Managing Director, commented that "as a business to business supplier who doesn't sell directly to consumers, we've never felt that public education on climate change was a strong part of our mandate. Our business clients typically understand the issues and know why they want to offset already.

"We're focussed on delivering high quality carbon offsets and are comfortable with organisations like the David Suzuki Foundation and the Pembina Institute, who are more oriented to the job, taking the lead in education."
