WindsorEats is making a commitment to sustainability.
The tourism company is partnering with the Essex Region Conservation Authority Foundation and donating two per cent of all ticket sales to the foundation for tree planting efforts in the region.
“After enduring several severe climate-induced weather incidents that hampered our tourism season in 2019, including flooded waterfronts that postponed our iconic Dinner on a Pier event, WindsorEats is officially ensuring our focus is on a Triple Bottom Line,” said Adriano Ciotoli, who together with his sister Pina, owns WindsorEats. “Triple Bottom Line is when business success is no longer defined only by monetary gain, but also by the effect on people and planet.”
The Essex Region Conservation Authority Foundation is hoping other local organizations follow WindsorEats lead.
“We are so delighted to welcome WindsorEats as our first Partner In Sustainability, and hope that many other local businesses – big and small – will also want to demonstrate their corporate social responsibility by supporting this initiative,” said Susan Stockwell Andrews, the foundation’s president.
ERCA said trees are identified as the single biggest weapon in the fight against climate change. Millions of trees are needed in the region to increase the area's natural tree coverage of only 8.5 per cent.
