BLJC is bullfrogpowered™
Real estate management services organization signs on with Bullfrog Power™ for
100 per cent green electricity
Toronto, July 24, 2008 — Bullfrog Power, a leading Canadian provider of
100 per cent green electricity, today announced that BLJC, a Toronto-based integrated real estate management services organization, has signed on with the company to bullfrogpower its operations in Markham and Kanata, Ontario, with emissions-free electricity. BLJC joins the growing number of Canadian homes, businesses and organizations that support locally produced, clean, renewable power with Bullfrog.
“Purchasing green power supports our efforts to minimize our environmental footprint,” said Edwin Lim, Vice President, Energy & Sustainability, BLJC. “It further supports our vision of having corporate real estate portfolios — ours as well as those of our clients — contribute a net positive impact on our respective corporate emissions footprint.”
“At BLJC, Corporate Social Responsibility is the cornerstone of our operating philosophy, and environmental stewardship is one of the key components of our program,” said Gord Hicks, President, BLJC. “By purchasing green power, we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and contribute towards our objective of continuously reducing the impact of our business on our environment.”
The decision to source green power for its corporate offices was driven by BLJC’s desire to do the right thing and demonstrate to current and future clients that the organization is committed to reducing the collective environmental impact of its corporate real estate portfolios. In proposing innovative energy and greenhouse gas reduction strategies, BLJC hopes to demonstrate its leadership in applying the living building concept to corporate real estate portfolios.
“We are very pleased that BLJC has decided to green its operations by signing on with Bullfrog Power,” said Tom Heintzman, President, Bullfrog Power. “BLJC is showing the commercial real estate management industry that there are simple and practical steps that can be taken to reduce the environmental impact of commercial and residential buildings.”
