“They Don’t Make Swiss Watches in China – Fiercely Competitive and Proudly Canadian”
Tom Heintzman is one of the most recognized entrepreneurs in the Canadian green business landscape. Heintzmann didn’t simply convince people to buy a better mousetrap; he convinced people to buy a more expensive mousetrap. Heintzmann’s company, Bullfrog Power, has proven that consumers will pay more to do the right thing, if you offer to join them in a quest to change the way we live our lives and do business in the sustainability era.
Dani Reiss, Canada’s 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year, took an established local family outerwear business and transformed it into a worldwide fashion brand and business success story. His commitment to high standards and best practices in the environmental and social realms has guided Canada Goose to its current status as one of our most proud “Made in Canada” international success stories.
