“It's a great honour to be named one of Canada's Clean16,” says Tom Heintzman, President, Bullfrog Power. “I am also pleased to have the opportunity to work with members of Canada's Clean50 on ways to further the sustainability agenda in Canada.”

Delta Management Group, with input from its own group of researchers, an external advisory team, and with advice from Corporate Knights, conducted a national search identifying more than 300 candidates for consideration to be part of Canada's Clean50.

“The interest shown by individuals and companies across almost every sector was quite remarkable, and the quality of nominees was exceptional. The good news for Canada is that we had so many deserving people to consider,” says Gavin Pitchford, Chief Talent Officer, Delta Management Group. “Over the course of his career, Heintzman has made a significant impact on the energy landscape in Canada. He's helping increase awareness of the importance of green energy, and through Bullfrog is providing Canadians a way to choose—and support the development of—renewable energy.”
