In early 1997, Kaizen Environmental Sampling Inc. changed its’ name to Kaizen Environmental Services Inc. to better demonstrate the broad service package that it had developed to support it’s client environmental requirements. Mr. de Freitas recognized that the developing environmental challenges of the coming millennium, coupled with rationalization of the global market and Kaizen’s considerable environmental expertise, offered an opportunity on the companies international experience.

Kaizen has been operating in Trinidad since 1994, from when it was awarded the largest environmental reclamation project in the region, located at the Brighton Oilfield in southwestern Trinidad. Kaizen has subsequently built a state of the art environmental laboratory in Trinidad and has successfully completed several environmental projects in the areas of contaminated site clean up, air emissions, auditing and laboratory services. Mr. de Freitas continues to pursue the vision of the growth of Kaizen as a leader in providing environmental services in the regions of Western Canada and the Caribbean.
