Our History
Founded in 2004, Boreal-Information Strategies (Borealis) is the result of a unique concept combined with an innovative approach.
The company was first created after the founders noticed a huge gap on the ground in social and environmental impact management in the context of large international infrastructure projects such as those found in the mining and oil & gas industries.
Over the years, Borealis team members have realized that good communication and efficient data transmission between the project site teams and corporate management are often a key condition for companies to achieve better social and environmental outcomes.
Therefore, a key focus for Borealis is to bridge the gap between projects, or site-based operations, and corporate strategy and reporting in the mining and oil & gas industries.
As a result, Borealis offers a holistic solution that combines expertise in the mining and oil & gas sectors with CSR software and integration services to streamline our clients' business processes and ensure that they are equipped to fulfill their sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments.
