Our association with Carbonzero allows you to secure high quality Canadian based serialized, quantified, and third-party verified carbon offsets to help neutralize the unavoidable emissions from your paper. Together we are pleased to offer an updated 100% carbon neutral program. Did you know that the brands included in our Carbon Neutral Program generally produce less GHGs than high post-consumer waste (recycled) papers? Arivaʼs Reduced to Zero; Carbon Neutral Program When you participate in program, we apply credits to fully offset the low greenhouse gas emissions 1 from our papers, resulting in 100% carbon neutral paper at a very affordable cost. Ariva does this by partnering with Carbonzero, a well-recognized Canadian carbon management organization, to carefully select and support initiatives that are (a) local to Ontario or Quebec, (b) that pertain to forestry, habitat maintenance, and/or the paper industry. Ariva has previously supported Ontario Biodiversity Afforestation Project (OBAP) and Southern Quebec Afforestation Project (SQAP), two initiatives that re-established forest species on land that would have otherwise been abandoned or used for agricultural purposes. PREVIOUS Between calendar years 2020 - 2022, our customers neu- tralized 4,550 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by participating in our program. This is equivalent to carbon sequestered by 75,235 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. CURRENT Currently, Ariva supports Niagara Escarpment Forest Carbon Project (NEFCP). This project has mitigated 75,000 tonnes of carbon in the atmosphere as of 2021 and is projected to continue into the next several years. NEFCP promotes forest cover and ecosystem function, limiting the negative impacts of local dynamics. Tree growth in these areas and efforts to preserve in-situ rare species such as the Pileated Woodpecker, Painted Turtle, Great Grey Owl and geological features reduce carbon levels and improve biodiversity.
