Conservation Pledge:

Encourage and promote efficient energy use behaviours (e.g. turning off unnecessary lights or equipment) to minimize wasteful energy practices
Remove barriers and increase access to sustainable transportation for both staff and customers. To start, we will look at the potential for additional bike racks, providing a bike valet for large events, and will explore other ideas and opportunities

Indeed, environmental impact was a consideration before The Refinery even poured its first drink, according to co-owner Peter Raptis. So, when Peter was asked to become an Ambassador for Conservation and share how his work supports Vancouver’s sustainable tourism destination standing, he jumped on board. > more
