Environmental Commitment
When it comes to protecting communities, people and the environment, our industry is working hard to get better every year. But what does that really mean? Let’s take a look at what’s being done.
Innovation and Investment in Environmental Performance
Governance We are committed to acting with integrity in everything we do. This commitment makes up a core part of our values and extends to our Board of Directors and our approach to governance. Our Board is responsible for the overall stewardship of CFA and is supported by several committees and working groups which provide guidance on specific aspects of our business.
Air
We’re all breathing the same air and keeping it clean is a priority for us.
Water
Our members are continually looking for ways to use less water, and to improve the quality of the water they return to the ecosystem.
Land
Our members take full responsibility for restoring and remediating the land to provincial standards.
GHGs
We know we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It’s one of our most complex, but important challenges.
Flaring 101
That flame you see burning at the top of a refinery’s pipe stack is an important, safe and regulated part of the refining process.
Used Oil
Canadians consume several hundred millions of litres of motor oil every year, and it all has to be disposed of responsibly.
