Our Focus Areas
Environmentally Friendly Products
We prioritize the use of biodegradable and eco-friendly cleaning products, as well as recycled paper materials.
Products such as envelopes, file folders, and paper towels are selected for their sustainable sourcing and minimal chemical treatment.
Energy Conservation
We implement high-efficiency HVAC systems and LED lighting, use energy-saving water heaters and programmable thermostats, enable power-saving modes on all electronics, mandate the shutdown of lights and equipment at the end of each day, and optimize the use of company vehicles and equipment to maximize energy efficiency.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
Our climate change mitigation strategies include the sale and incorporation of energy-efficient products in our AV integration provided services, and company-wide recycling efforts.
Sustainable Partnerships
We align with environmentally responsible manufacturers such as Sony and Draper Inc., who actively support LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits and ENERGY STAR standards. In addition, our operations are designed to minimize environmental impact through waste management strategies that support landfill waste reduction, recycling initiatives, and responsible resource usage.
3 R's: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle
Reduce: Minimizing paper use with digital systems (includes direct deposit payments, online only pay statements, online employee handbook, electronic funds transfers (EFTs), etc.).
Reuse: Office supplies like envelopes, folders, and boxes are reused regularly, along with packing materials. Printers with double-sided printing are used when suitable. Video conferencing helps limit travel.
Recycle: Each branch takes part in available recycling programs for electronics, toner cartridges, and K-Cups.
Recycle your commercial electronics at no cost—Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) provides safe and secure disposal for end-of-life equipment.
