Energy Conservation, precious resources, water quality and air pollution. Not a typical agenda list for an outsourced provider of business services, but every workday each of our staff makes countless decisions that relate to these issues.
Many of these choices are small – whether to print that email or simply read it and save it. Others are more substantial – whether to install energy-efficient lighting at one of our facilities. In many cases as we carry out our daily activities, we are making an environmental statement if not impact - for better or worse.
With this in mind, FFP Global has been implementing a variety of environmentally responsible initiatives in an effort to make a positive impact on the environment.
FFP Global has already taken the following steps toward this initiative:
- Office paper recycling bins have been placed throughout the facilities and will be collected either by custodial staff or by FFP employees themselves and those recyclable paper items maintained separate from refuse for pickup.
- Bins for beverage bottles and cans are conveniently located at all FFP Global facilities for recyclable plastic, glass and returnable bottles. Returnable bottles in our Westborough location are donated to the local fire department youth auxillary for their ongoing fundraising efforts
- Corrugated cardboard in all of our fulfillment centers is collected and recycled.
- Office, breakroom, and cleaning supply purchases are made with “green” vendors and/or green manufacturers whenever possible.
- Warehouse lighting in our Westborough fulfillment center has been replaced with energy efficient light fixtures that have motion sensors which eliminate wasted energy.
- We are in the process of replacing all florescent lighting with more energy efficient compact florescent tubes in Call Centers and offices on both coasts.
FFP Global is encouraging all of our employees to actively engage in these and future efforts to show the community that FFP Global is environmentally responsible. Not only will this program reduce the amount of trash going to landfills, but it will also help preserve natural resources.
