ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

We’re committed to operating in a sustainable way to reduce the impact of our business on the environment, while promoting the health and well-being of our people. We take our responsibility to the planet seriously, ensuring we make intentional choices on a day-to-day basis that inspire environmental awareness. Here’s how we do our part.

  • Our Environment Culture Hub organizes challenges and clean up events in our local communities.
  • Joining climate justice policy advocacy initiatives.
  • In our Denver office, we support the RTD Ecopass scheme, enabling free travel to and from work for all of our staff via public transport.
  • Recycling & Composting: Following recycling and composting policies supported by our LEED-certified building. We also have guidelines, training, and signs to promote recycling and composting best-practice in our office. 
    • Wherever possible, we use recycled office and kitchen supplies sourced from sustainable forests. 
    • We utilize our building’s services for the proper recycling of hazardous materials like batteries and electronics. And for materials not supported by our building’s recycling services (e.g. plastic shopping bags), we take those to off-site facilities that can manage them.
  • Energy, Water, & Paper Usage: We provide energy-efficient laptops and programs for our staff and regularly turn off our monitors at the end of the working day. We also track toner and paper usage and minimize printing paper as much as possible. Our people are also encouraged to use reusable water bottles and tumblers.
  • Biodegradable, Chemical-free, Organic Products: We make sure to purchase environmentally friendly cleaning supplies whenever possible in order to reduce chemical exposure in the office. This includes everything from unbleached paper towels and coffee filters to dish soaps and cleaning agents. For kitchen supplies, such as coffee, tea, sugar, milk, etc., we opt for organic, non-GMO, sustainably farmed products wherever possible.

Our 2023/2024 impact:

  • We hosted challenges around Meat Free May, Plastic-free July, and Earth Hour.
  • Shared educational materials around sustainable Easter & Valentine’s Day purchasing, Eco travel, green investments, etc.
  • 38% of our staff were fully remote workers, also helping to cut down on our environmental impact. 
  • We went through 1,755 pieces of paper through copies and printing, which is a 32% reduction from the previous year.
