Who We Are
Tundra is a consultancy specializing in risk management, travel safety,
crisis management, external communication and related training services.
The Tundra brand was founded in 2006 by Canadian military veterans working internationally in the security sector.
Following a change of ownership in 2017, Tundra International was established as a consultancy specializing in risk management, travel safety, crisis management and related training services.
We are based in Ontario, Canada close to Toronto. We support customers in Ontario, Canada and Canadian businesses with international interests.
In addition to risk advisory and consultancy services offered under the Tundra International brand, we provide safety and industrial contracting services under the Tundra Rescue and Tundra Rope Access brands.
Our Approach
We aim to provide scalable, balanced support at all times, focusing on our customer’s own goals. We are committed to providing services at the highest standards of relevant compliance, quality, health and safety and ethics.
Our projects and assignments typically begin with a free consultation from which a mutually-agreed Terms of Reference is developed.
Our technical services are complimented by effective project administration.
Our Customers
Our experience includes supporting public, private and non-profit organisations in sectors including development, media, the extractive industries, and retail and manufacturing businesses with international interests and supply chains.
