- Work to protect the environment by preventing pollution from production and logistics, avoiding or minimizing waste generation, and promoting the use of environmentally preferable products and packaging
- Monitor and manage our environmental impact by tracking our energy and water use, waste generation, recycling and other related activities and taking action to reduce our impact
- Raise associate awareness of these commitments, including training on our environmental responsibilities
- Comply with the requirements of relevant legislation and regulations
- Engage with key stakeholders on important environmental issues and serve as a reliable partner for customers, suppliers, the environment, and the society we live in — including identifying ways that our services and products can reduce environmental impact
