Pro*Act Awarded Green Business Certificate
PRO*ACT has earned a Green Business Certification from the Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program in recognition of its superior achievements in sustainability. The certification is given to companies who exceed environmental regulatory requirements, prevent pollution, and conserve natural resources, according to a press release.
Thanks to the Greener Fields Together™ initiative and the company’s Green Office Program, PRO*ACT has been able to successfully reduce trash disposal by 44% and increase recycling by 45%. The total waste-to-landfill volume has been reduced as well.
“Practices like these within our own ‘four walls’ and Greener Fields Together, which promotes continuous sustainability improvements throughout the supply chain, have become part of PRO*ACT’s corporate DNA,” says Kathleen Phillips, Supply Chain Sustainability Manager at Pro*Act. “We’ve raised the bar on sustainability in our industry and are committed to keep raising it. It’s good for the Earth and it’s good for business.”
PRO*ACT is continuing to reduce waste, paper, and the use of water and electricity; purchase office products and equipment that are low-energy, compostable, and eco-friendly; execute a comprehensive recycling program; and reduce travel where possible in favor of teleconferencing.
Congratulations on your recent achievement, PRO*ACT. Keep it up!
