Our Why Story
What makes ChemFree Canada so different
For over 30 years in the industrial chemicals industry, we’ve seen first-hand the effects of detrimental non-sustainable business practices repeating time and time again. As we navigated our own financial hardships during that time, it became clear that the traditional approaches of chemical companies left them burdened with debt instead of thriving with wealth.
From these challenges we faced, we were able to identify missed opportunities and room for growth by recognising blind spots what inhibited our own progress. By understanding future challenges in the industry, we saw the need for transformative changes at an accelerating rate.
Sustainability
Chemical management comes at a high cost, anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00 for every dollar spent on chemicals, emphasised our need to evolve and innovate. Determined to implement sustainable solutions, we ventured into the unknown driven by our guiding principles and impactful methodologies.
Responsibility
We are committed to financial responsibility, by achieving debt-free status and significantly increasing our business value year-over-year. Through utilising resources and strategic outsourcing, we were able to optimise our business operations and sustain our core capabilities. Through this time, we founded and successfully sold a chemical management company, further demonstrating our ability to adapt to ever-changing headwinds.
