IFS Coatings announces carbon offset program

Powder coatings manufacturer IFS Coatings Inc. has announced it is now purchasing monthly carbon offsets to further its work toward becoming more sustainable.

The carbon offset initiative builds on existing environmental responsibility programs and is part of a long-term strategy to improve the company’s environmental impact and ensure a more sustainable business for customers, employees, suppliers, and communities.

“We are constantly looking at ways in which we can reduce our environmental impact, and using the terrapass program to offset our carbon footprint is now a key part of that,” said Glynn Mason, president.

The terrapass system invests in carbon reduction projects, and carbon offsets purchased through terrapass support a portfolio of projects in communities around the world, including reforestation; renewable energy produced by wind power; and methane capture at dairy farms, landfills, and abandoned coal mines.
