We’ve proudly remained an important employer to Newfoundland for the past 30 years. Diversity and inclusion are essential to our business. One of our key strengths as a Company is the diverse range of people we employ, reflecting the range of countries, cultures and contexts that represent the global nature of our business. Our refinery is in the conversion project process and once completed the newly constructed plant in Come by Chance, Newfoundland will be one of the largest renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel production facilities in the world. Before we rebranded as Braya, our facility in Come by Chance was known as the North Atlantic Refinery. Our corporate name was changed from NARL Refining Limited Partnership to Braya at the end of January. Our new name honours two endangered species of artic-alpine flowering plants, Long’s Braya and Fernald’s Braya, that are indigenous to Newfoundland. The Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland is the only place in the world these species of braya plants grow. They are among a unique set of species to have adapted to the harsh climate conditions and natural processes that characterize the coastal limestone barrens of the Strait of Belle Isle.
