We, at the Amalgamated Family of Companies have been implementing critical measures to reduce our carbon footprint and support optimal sustainability objectives as we strive to be admirable environmental citizens. Among the steps we have taken are:
Replaced traditional fluorescent lighting with energy-saving LED lightbulbs
Use occupancy motion sensors that turn off lights when a room becomes unoccupied
Upgraded appliances with Energy Star appliances
Maintain a corporate policy of paper reduction and recycling wherever possible including emailing of invoices and statements
Reuse packaging materials, group together shipments and boxes
Reduce unessential corporate travel
Encourage employees’ participation in ride-sharing commuting and selected our White Plains, NY headquarters location to be in close proximity to major transit hubs and public transportation
Encourage the use of environmentally-friendly water bottles and lunch containers
Rely on event technology and electronic communications instead of printed materials at industry conferences, use QR codes on all collateral; which directs users to our websites, reducing the use of paper and associated shipping costs
Added more plants and greenery to our office space to improve air quality
Our printing company, AliGraphics, uses FSC-certified, up to 100% recycled content paper, eco-friendly inks, and chemical free plates, as well as performs 100% recycling of printing plates
