green
Our passionate green committee is doing its best to sweep away our carbon footprint. Last year, we switched to energy-efficient signage outside and reduced our interior lighting after hours. We’ve expanded our recycling program and have almost entirely eliminated Styrofoam in our cafeteria. These efforts are great, but we know there is always more we can do. To help, we keep conversations going about environmental issues, raising awareness and sharing ways our employees can support green events in our community.
what we care about
- we are determined to reduce our company’s impact on the environment. We are working to make a difference by educating our employees, partnering with community organizations, and encouraging green decisions, actions and business practices
