Burt’s Bees is bullfrogpowered™
Natural personal care company greens its
Canadian operations with Bullfrog Power™
Toronto, February 15, 2008 — Bullfrog Power, a leading Canadian provider of 100 per cent green electricity, today announced that Burt’s Bees, a maker of natural personal care products, including its famous Beeswax Lip Balm, has agreed to purchase clean, renewable electricity for its Toronto-based operations.
“At Burt’s Bees, caring for the environment is part of our founding mission and inherent to how we make our products,” said John Replogle, President and CEO of Burt's Bees. “We commend the work that is being done by Bullfrog to drive renewable power from sources like wind and water instead of carbon-intensive sources like coal and oil, which helps remedy one of the critical issues of our time — climate change. Ultimately, reducing our carbon footprint is one step in our ongoing commitment to reduce the impact of our business on the environment.”
“Burt’s Bees has an excellent reputation for producing natural products in a responsible manner that cares for the environment,” said Bullfrog Power President Tom Heintzman. “We are very happy that Burt’s Bees has chosen to reduce the environmental footprint of its Canadian operations by purchasing clean, emissions-free electricity.”
The company’s partnership with Bullfrog is a natural step towards achieving its 2020 Sustainability Goals, which includes using 100 percent renewable energy, reducing landfill waste to zero, and ensuring all packaging is 100 percent post-consumer recycled or degradable. It’s part of their business model called “The Greater Good™.”
