“Over the past years, Helijet has been working to develop and catalogue its sources of emissions while developing partnerships and initiatives on how we all can reduce our footprint on the environment. We are very pleased to now have access to Climate Smart’s training, tools and ongoing support towards our entire team’s commitment to the environment,” stated Danny Sitnam, Helijet President & CEO in a statement. “Alongside our sustainable work with the Pacific Salmon Foundation, Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Forest Carbon Project and now Climate Smart, we are very proud in doing our small part to ensure a sustainable future.”
In completing this program, Helijet joins other industry-leaders in meeting emissions reduction objectives that benefit the environment. To date, Climate Smart has helped more than 1000 companies reach an average of 24 per cent reduction in their GHG emissions.
