LILRC is committed to being a good neighbor in an environmentally conscious, socially beneficial and economically responsible way. As we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and promote environmental stewardship at all levels of the organization we will continually evaluate our processes and measure our results.
Our goals:
- Observe all applicable environmental regulations.
- Reduce our energy and water consumption by using the most energy efficient items and practices that support renewable energy sources whenever practical.
- Minimize pollutants by choosing the most environmentally-friendly products that are able to perform a comparable job at a competitive price.
- Increase our recycling efforts and minimize our waste.
- Provide resources for members to learn about sustainability through our collections and programming.
- Encourage environmentally preferable transportation.
- Donate equipment no longer useful to the LILRC to members or not-for-profit organizations whenever practical.
- Encourage our contractors, suppliers and anyone acting on LILRC's behalf to also meet our standards of environmental performance.
Employee understanding and involvement are essential to the implementation of our sustainability policy. Every employee will receive a copy of this policy, be educated on LILRC’s environmental efforts and be involved in supporting our goals.
