Environmental Policy & Principles

Helping to preserve our Earth for future generations is a responsibility we share with everyone. That is why environmental management is one of our highest priorities.

We adhere to all relevant laws and regulations; we are active in our efforts to conserve resources and energy, reduce pollution, and educate consumers. Our commitment is ongoing. We will continue to look for ways we can help protect the environment and contribute to the well being of the Earth.

Our Principles

1. Within our business operations, products and services, we will reduce and, where possible, eliminate pollution and waste through source reduction, conservation and recycling.
2. We will conserve energy and improve the energy efficiency of our internal operations and of the goods and services we produce. We will strive to educate the public about energy conservation and its effect on the environment.
3. We will strive to minimize environmental, health and safety risks to our employees and the communities in which we operate through education, safe technologies and operating procedures.
4. We will make sustainable use of renewable natural resources our priority and will strive to conserve nonrenewable natural resources through efficient use and careful planning.
5. We will implement these principles to be sure that every person at every level is informed about pertinent environmental issues and is fully responsible for environmental policy.
6. In every location where we conduct our business, we maintain close ties with local communities, and we contribute to society by publicizing our activities and assisting in environmental conservation efforts.
