Our Commitment to the Environment
Our industry is subject to numerous environmental rules and regulations. We strive for 100 percent compliance, and most of the time, we meet this objective. In many instances, we look for opportunities to do better than what is required. Our formal environmental management system is designed to provide continuous improvement and compliance. While our record is strong, we recognize that on occasion things can go wrong. Our management system ensures the proper oversight and helps us to identify the root cause of problems and to fix them so they don’t happen again.
