SUSTAINABILITY 2015
IN ACTION
In 2010, Kruger Products launched Sustainability 2015, our
five-year initiative to reduce our environmental impact.
In 2009, we installed our award-winning biomass gasification
system. This is the first of its kind in Canada and the entire pulp
and paper industry. It uses locally-sourced wood waste, thereby
diverting it from landfill, and heats it into a syngas, which replaces
natural gas. This process is lowering the facility’s GHG emissions
by 50% annually which is equivalent to removing 5,500 cars from
roads or planting three million trees.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Corporately, we support a host of community-building and philanthropic endeavors, particularly in the areas of
cancer research, conservation, women’s athletics and children’s health with major organizations including the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Earth
Day Canada and Nature Canada.
At our New Westminster facility, we support organizations on a more local level including:
Supporting the Adopt-A-Room program
and provide donations in-kind to the Ronald
McDonald House Vancouver, to help provide
a temporary home for the families of sick
children;
Employee-led annual fundraising campaign
for United Way;
Fundraising support for our local hospital through the Royal Columbian
Hospital Foundation;
Supporting the New Westminster Fire
Fighters through the annual Hyack Festival;
Douglas College endowment to help
students with their academic careers; and
Passionate contributor of the Easter Seals
Vancouver 24 hour relay to help send
children with disabilities to camps across
the province.
