What is Earth doing as a company to address their environmental footprint?
Our commitment to being recognized as an environmental leader works internally from the top-down and bottom-up. Our senior management team is dedicated to seeing us reduce our carbon footprint. Beyond sizable changes we’ve made within the last several years to product design and material use, we’ve also invested into new manufacturing/operations to reduce added travel and carbon emissions. We’ve also upgraded our packaging configurations to a one-piece construction that uses soy-based inks and recycled paper. Internally, each associate is also encouraged to be involved with environmental concerns of their own choosing. During the month of April, and specifically during Earth Day, many associates are involved with Earth Day celebrations including community work with a natural farm right around the corner from our US headquarters. Offsets are also something that we are considering to address the gap between the organic reductions we’ve already made, and our ongoing carbon footprint.
