Description of Action:
Environmental Policy Statement
Our mission is to achieve zero waste in the waste management industry through innovation, improved efficiency and planting trees. However our environmental and sustainability efforts should not stop there. They should be tied into every aspect of our work and life, wherever we can find an area to improve it is our duty and responsibility to do so and set an example for others.
At Sourgum Waste we expect all of our team members to fully uphold all environmental laws and regulations. They protect our customers, communities and environment. At no time is it acceptable to overlook or ignore any infractions and it is expected that you report any issues. We work closely with the DEP to ensure that we are complying with all local, state and federal regulations.
We are committed to reducing the amount of waste and pollution on this planet. That is why we plant trees for every dumpster rented in order to offset the carbon emissions from servicing them. That is why we have made recycling mandatory and eliminated single use plastics in our office and replaced them with reusable bottles and containers. We expect all of our team members to put the wellness of our customers and the environment above profits and sales figures. Sourgum Waste has established partnerships with charity organizations and we expect all of our team members to encourage customers to donate or give away as many of their reusable items before placing them into the waste system. We expect our team members to make every effort to divert reusable waste that we transport out of the waste system before resorting to landfill disposal.
We are committed to continuously improving ourselves and our sustainability efforts. Top level management will regularly meet throughout the year to review our environmental commitments and ensure we are on track. Once a year a company wide all hands on deck meeting will be held to discuss and solidify environmental impact and sustainability goals for the year. As dreamers, activists and doers I know our team can truly change the world.
