Sustainability

Social Responsibility

Our founders believed that we have a responsibility to give back to our community, making it a better place for everyone to live and work. This philosophy still rings true today as demonstrated by our actions and proactive commitment to society and illustrated through our Corporate Citizenship Brochure. One example is how we encourage our employees to be active in the community through tutoring programs, volunteer days and charity fundraisers.

• Employment Policies
• Protecting the Community
• Ethics
  

Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to making changes in the areas where we have the most impact – greening our products, packaging and transportation. Through conducting life cycle assessments (LCAs), we gain an understanding of how our products impact the environment, which starts with the raw materials and continues through manufacturing, product use and disposal. We continue to look for new ways to conserve resources and to reduce energy usage.

• Greening our Products

• Developing innovative products and technologies that support our customers’ needs; and
• Creating growth opportunities throughout the world to increase our revenues.
