“We’ve joined 1% For The Planet, an alliance of businesses that believe in providing financial support to environmental initiatives. Since 1987, we’ve given in excess of $9 million to Canadian conservation projects through our grant programs. Now we’re committed to donating a full 1% of our annual gross sales to Canadian causes. This translates to more giving than ever – an estimated $2 million in 2007 alone.”
