Environmental Commitment
Over the past year, bds mktg has made an active commitment to better the environment and has encouraged our employees to do the same. We have implemented a variety of environmentally responsible initiatives in an effort to make a positive impact on the environment. bds has also introduced measures and practices to encourage the success of these initiatives company-wide.
A few milestones as of today:
- Replaced all lighting at our corporate building with
high-efficiency bulbs
- Saved 120 trees in 2007 through our Shred-it®
paper recycling program
- Cut our potential land fill usage in half by reducing our
waste bins
- Placed recycling bins for bottles and cans throughout
the building
- Eliminated paper coffee cups by providing reusable mugs
to each employee
- Encourage each employee to make a conscientious effort to reduce the amount of energy they use each day
