Sustainability Initiatives
We make concerted efforts to reduce our environmental footprint through our energy and water use, waste generation, and transportation choices.
Company initiatives include:
- Our Denver office building is solar powered and certified LEED Silver.
- Our bathroom and kitchen appliances are low-flow where possible.
- Our office kitchens have disposal stations with labeled bins for compost, plastic bags, single-stream recycling, and landfill.
- Our warehouses have additional bins for scrap metal, shrink-wrap, and other recyclables.
- We have a hard-to-recycle materials station in our Boulder warehouse for items such as batteries, CFL
lightbulbs , bike tires, clothing, plastic bubble wrap, those little plastic strips that go around large bulky packages, electronics, and hard Styrofoam, thanks to our partners at Eco-Cycle. - Employees can bring items from home to put into these containers as
well, so that we’re reducing not only the companyfootprint, but by extension, all of our individual footprints too. - We encourage carpooling and biking, and provide a free RTD EcoPass to all employees. Our Denver office’s proximity to several bike paths and public transit lines was a major part of our decision to move there.
- Our company fleet includes plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles.
- We have a voluntary Sustainability Committee that monitors tracking systems, implements process improvements, and brainstorms new ideas and initiatives.
