Pollution Probe is a Canadian charitable environmental organization that
-
Defines environmental problems through
research;
-
Promotes understanding through education; and,
-
Presses for practical solutions through advocacy.
Pollution Probe is dedicated to achieving positive and
tangible environmental change.
We
are a partnership-building organization.
We
engage government agencies, private businesses and other non-profit
organizations that have a legitimate interest in an issue to help us find
solutions.
We
are a donor-based organization.
We maintain a practical, independent perspective by drawing upon
the financial support of a broad spectrum of individuals.
We
seek to represent the needs of the general public. We work
to make visible the needs of all, as distinct from the needs of interested parties, in finding environmental solutions.
Our goal is to serve the needs of both this generation and future
generations for a clean and healthy environment.
We
are “results-oriented”. We choose issues and engage in activities when we judge that
we may reasonably expect tangible results that improve the environment
from our participation.
We
choose our scope of activity to ensure that we can achieve results. We direct our attention to Canadian issues, and we
concentrate on clean air and clean water, because we believe that this
scope of activity allows us to focus our efforts where we have
demonstrated competence.
We
consider all facets of an issue.
We resist the temptation to oversimplify issues that are truly complex,
just as we avoid clouding issues that are quite simple.
We challenge our donors, our partners and the public to think
through the important, sometimes difficult, environmental problems we all
face.
We
approach issues fair-mindedly, based upon fact. We listen respectfully to the points of view of all
stakeholders in an environmental issue, and we take our position based
upon sound scientific research and our commitment to serving the general
public interest.
We
are non-partisan, yet engaged politically. We are willing to work
cooperatively with all levels of government and all political parties to
ensure that the environmental needs of current and future generations are
addressed through public debate, legislation and policy initiatives.
We
seek professional competence in all aspects of our business. Our
credibility and our ability to achieve positive results rest, in part,
upon our ability to do our jobs creditably and to interact with colleagues
on the basis of shared professional standards of excellence.
We
adopt good ideas wherever we find them.
We adopt positions, crediting our sources, based on the good of the
environment, and not upon philosophical or ideological labels.
