As of December 1, 2007, our BLANCO Canada facility in Mississauga, Ontario has been bullfrogpowered.

Bullfrog Power is a leading provider of 100% green electricity. All of Bullfrog’s power comes from clean, renewable sources like wind power and low-impact water power that displace polluting and carbon-intensive electricity sources like coal. Bullfrog sources power exclusively from generators that have received Environment Canada’s Environmental Choice™ Program EcoLogo^M certification. Supporting emission-free renewable power is a great way to reduce carbon footprint and help combat climate change and air pollution. Plus, Bullfrog Power uses our demand to initiate new renewable generation projects to ensure more of Canada’s energy needs are met with clean, green power.

Switching to 100% green electricity is just one of the changes we’ve made toward becoming greener. We have also implemented recycling practices in our facilities, and our manufacturing processes and facility feature state-ofthe- art technologies for air quality and waste management. As well, our stainless steel sinks are made from more than 90% recycled stainless steel and our SILGRANIT^® sinks are 80% natural granite. Most SILGRANIT^® sinks sold in Canada are manufactured in Canada. Our TORINO low-flow faucet has been designed for improved water conservation and is now certified by the Environmental Choice Program, an Environment Canada Program.

We are also working to become more environmentally conscious in our marketing activities. The paper used to make our catalogue, as well as to produce other marketing literature and new point-of-purchase materials, carries the FSC-certification logo (Forest Stewardship Council).

Purchase of FSC-certified paper and print products contributes to conservation, responsible management, and community level benefits for people near the forests that provide your paper. Just like other forest products, in order to use the FSC logo as an environmental claim on paper, the product must have flowed through the FSC chain-of-custody from the FSC-certified forest, to a paper manufacturer, merchant, and finally printer who have FSC chain-of-custody certification.

In the months to come we will be continuing to increase our efforts to take meaningful action to reduce our organization’s environmental footprint and to create a healthier environment for our community and for future generations.
