Finding ways to conserve resources and make a positive environmental impact is a continuous effort. Activities such as shredding unused paper, utilizing recycle bins, expanding our digital capabilities, and using energy efficient lighting have contributed to minimizing the Company’s carbon footprint as we make progress towards  sustainability best practices.
