PBI Arctic Allies program is for conservation-minded small businesses, organizations, or groups that want to make a meaningful contribution in support of PBI research, stewardship, and education initiatives to help save polar bears and their habitat.
PBI Arctic Allies enables you to ally with a respected, science-and-fact-based organization that is working diligently and cooperatively with leading experts, organizations and companies worldwide. PBI Arctic Allies Program is a showcase for companies that:
- Demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship
- Strive toward product/service stewardship, which PBI defines as the responsible management of a product from its inception through to its ultimate end and discontinuation
- Challenge employees, suppliers, and customers to reduce their carbon footprints
- Believe that the future of humankind, wildlife, and the earth’s resources depends on reversing the trend of carbon emissions
- Make conscious decisions and actions that reflect their environmental values
- Want to see the polar bears and their habitat thrive
