Survey shows majority of Canadians think businesses should reduce transport-related emissions

In Canada, a large majority of Canadians think that it is important for businesses to take action to reduce their transportation-related emissions, according to the 2016 Sustainable Business Attitudes Survey, which was commissioned by Bullfrog Power and performed by Environics Research from August 8 to 21, 2016, reaching 2,000 adult Canadians.

The survey reports that 56 per cent said it was “very important” and 34 per cent said “somewhat important” that businesses using vehicles, such as company cars, delivery trucks or long-distance tractor trailers, make efforts to reduce emissions from those sources.

The survey also found that 82 per cent of Canadians felt that the use of environmentally-friendly transportation, such as electric or hybrid vehicles or using green fuels like biodiesel, would be important in their decision to recommend a business.

“It’s encouraging that so many Canadians understand that businesses need to take action on the environment. But until recently, businesses had few options with respect to reducing their transportation emissions,” said Ron Seftel, Chief Executive Officer, Bullfrog Power. “With the addition of Bullfrog Power’s green fuel, we can now offer businesses a comprehensive suite of green energy products to address all of their energy impacts in a meaningful and effective way.”
