Environmental Sustainability
Full Version
Copper State Bolt & Nut Co. supports the emerging trend towards environmentally conscious operations, facilities, and practices. Indeed Copper State is attempting in every way to ensure that we utilize "green" materials or processes where practical within our operation and that we adopt practices within all of our facilities aimed at minimizing our impact on the environment. We recognize environmental sustainability as a responsibility we have as an organization to our employees, to our community, to future generations, and to our financial stability. We are currently implementing this program throughout our operation and anticipate full-scale adoption of this program throughout our organization by the end of 2008.
We have structured our program along the criteria of LEED
certification. This enables us to capture the LEED credits that
may be applied to our own existing sites or new facilities, but also to
assist our customers and suppliers that may also be seeking LEED
oriented partners. The program is thus aimed at addressing
opportunities in the following areas of our operation:
- Sustainable Sites & Transportation Solutions
- Water Efficiency
- Energy & Atmosphere
- Materials & Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Innovation in operations
Our program is dynamic and ever-changing, adapting to new ideas, new
solutions, and customer/supplier requirements. Throughout our
entire organization we continue to work within our entire community to
ensure stable and sustainable operations.
