Sustainability Policy
Purpose:
We are committed to environmental sustainability as a core part of how we do business. This policy outlines the key areas where we reduce our environmental impact, promote responsible practices, and support a healthier planet for future generations.
Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
We aim to reduce energy consumption and transition to cleaner energy solutions by:
- Leasing energy-efficient office spaces (e.g., buildings with Energy Star certification).
- Purchasing only Energy Star-rated appliances and equipment for office use.
- Relying 100% on cloud-based IT infrastructure to minimize on-site energy usage.
Water Conservation
We promote responsible water usage through practical and employee-driven efforts, including:
- Replacing bottled water with filtered water dispensers.
- Requiring all employees to use reusable water bottles.
- Installing high-efficiency dishwashers in office kitchens.
- Encouraging staff to report any water leaks or dripping taps immediately.
- Ensuring 100% of office supplies purchased are recyclable.
Waste Reduction
We actively work to minimize waste and promote recycling through:
- Fully digital onboarding, paystubs, and document storage systems.
- Use of recycled office paper and remanufactured toner cartridges.
- Recycling programs for paper, bottles, cans, batteries, and electronics.
- Recycling 100% of printer toner cartridges.
- Monitoring of office supply usage to ensure alignment with our waste reduction goals.

We reduce travel-related emissions and encourage sustainable commuting by:
- Supporting remote and hybrid work schedules for all employees.

- Requiring leadership approval for all business travel to ensure it is essential.
- Prioritizing virtual meetings and video conferencing to reduce air and auto travel.

We choose vendors and products that align with our sustainability goals by:
- Prioritizing recyclable and eco-friendly office supplies.
