A partnership

for carbon sequestration

Adoption of

a carbon sink

investment plan

→ Green value chain → Climate change

We made a $15,000 donation to Tree Canada to support the

Grow Clean Air program, which seeks to support best practices

in forest management led by coastal First Nations communities

living in the Great Bear Rainforest, located on the north and

central coasts of British Columbia, and in Haida Gwaii.

This 6.4 million-hectare forest is home to a highly diverse

mix of old growth trees, mammals, birds, plants and abun-

dant marine life. The First Nations’ ecosystem-based forest

management practices prevent the release of the carbon that

the trees have already sequestered and that they continue to

store. This project enables communities to sell carbon credits

and generate revenue to create jobs in sustainable sectors

and protect their traditional territories.

In 2022, we invested $36,000 out of our $40,000 goal. To reach our goal,

we’ll develop a plan to conserve and use carbon sinks as a lever for the

ecological transition.

This decision to invest in the conservation and development of natural

systems that absorb more carbon from the atmosphere than they release is

enabling us to contribute to a net-zero world and ensure the conservation of

biodiverse-rich environments.
