Doing our part to do the right thing
At Delphi we are proud of our commitment to sustainability, to building stronger communities and to improving the lives of others - both locally and globally.
Our corporate social and environmental commitments include:
-
We donate 1% of corporate gross sales to local, national and international charities – this can amount to over 5% of our net profits.
- We sponsor 3 children in Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan through SOS Children’s Villages, World Vision and Plan Canada.
- We are Bullfrog Powered! Our operations and business travel are entirely GHG neutral and we annually purchase offset credits that are third party verified and certified by EcoLogo.
- We sponsor and organize the annual “Let’s Play Ball for Kids” charitable softball tournament. The tournament raises funds for local children’s and environmental charities.
- We have successfully organized and implemented a Young Environmental Leadership program since 2005 at both the EECO and Globe series of conferences.
- Our CEO, Mike Gerbis, currently volunteers as chair of The Climate Project – Canada – a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness around climate change.
- We are active supporters of the United Way.
- We have supported the Commonwealth Humanitarian Dinner in Ottawa, a banner event that raises funds for worthwhile projects in developing Commonwealth countries.
- We support a scholarship for Excellence in Research in Environment and Sustainable Development at Carleton University in Ottawa.
