As a customer of FortisBC for over 15 years, Van Houtte has participated in the company’s Spray ‘n Save program, which promotes energy efficiency at the water tap. So when Morten Schroder, VP of operations, was approached by FortisBC to sign
Van Houtte up for Renewable Natural Gas, it was a natural link for him.
Morten explains that Van Houtte is a company with an environmental conscience. “We have a number of programs in place to help protect the environment.”
From simple habit-changing initiatives like turning off lights upon exiting a room, to bigger changes like replacing delivery vehicles with compact models, Van Houtte is attempting to shrink its carbon footprint one step at a time. With a keen eye
towards minimizing waste and reusing resources wherever possible, Morten could see the like-minded values between Van Houtte and FortisBC. More than that, Morten felt compelled to do the right thing.
"We have a responsibility to the
environment, a duty. We are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint: [Renewable Natural Gas] is just another way we’re doing that," In the short term, Morten believes his customers will appreciate the effort. For the long term,
he expects it to be better for business. "We want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We can’t afford not to. In the end, it will benefit us all."
