What is Going Green?
Going Green is a program initiated by our company to bring awareness both internally and externally to the impacts and initiatives of our business on the environment. It is also a program to highlight the small changes that can be made that collectively can make a big impact. Specifically targeting key areas of environmental impact, Going Green sets forward the framework for us to take action in these key areas. By improving on performance in these areas, we can begin the process of moving to become more environmentally aware (green). The name “Going Green” reflects the continuous process of “moving” toward the objective of lessening our impact on the environment. It is often said that if you are not moving forward you are falling behind. Our initiative reflects that this is a continuous process, which does not end. As we achieve our goals and change our behavior, new goals must be set, behavior changed and strategy enhanced so that we are continuously improving and Going Green.
