Finger Food Studios has Received Carbon Positive Status and Announces Plan to Offset their more than 100 Staff's Household Emissions
Port Moody, BC, December 19, 2016--(T-Net)--Mixed Reality development firm, Finger Food Studios is adding to its roster of industry transformative work by becoming one of Canada's first companies to achieve Carbon Positive status.
Carbon Positive status requires going beyond Carbon Neutral by making additional ‘positive' contributions.
Finger Food has become Carbon Positive by ensuring that more of its greenhouse gas emissions are avoided or sequestered than are released into the atmosphere.
“We are advocates for positive social and environmental change,” said Ryan Peterson, Finger Food's CEO. “We believe businesses should be a force for good. That is why at Finger Food, we are committing to offset not just our company's carbon footprint but the footprint of every employee's household as well.”
“Finger Food Studios is a vision of what a truly sustainable organization is,” said Jae Mather, Director of Sustainability, Carbon Free Group. “The intent is on changing the game, where commercial strategy is sustainable strategy.”
Finger Food firmly believes that businesses should both self-regulate as well as benefit their communities and the environment.
As part of Finger Food's Carbon Management Strategy, the company contributed to the Quadra Island Forestland Conservation Project, a project that enabled the conservation of 417.9 hectares of forestland on Quadra Island which would have previously been logged or converted to vacation home developments.
A sample of other commitments Finger Food has made as part of their Carbon Positive status, includes:
“Finger Food Studios is the first official Carbon Positive company with Offsetters,” said Dawn Hancock, Manager of Client Engagement for Offsetters. “After measuring their carbon footprint, Finger Food wanted to go beyond simply neutralizing their impact on the climate; they offset much more than they emitted, in order to not just neutralize their impact but to have a positive contribution. Offsetters is proud to work with Finger Food Studios.”
