PRINCIPLES
We will preserve the health and quality of our employees, our facilities, our environment, and our community.
We will communicate with and engage employees, business partners, and the community to foster a greater understanding on environmental, health, safety and security matters.
We will train employees in their environmental, health, safety, and security responsibilities and promote involvement and accountability in these areas.
We will put people first by ensuring safety is priority number one.
We will make environmental, health, safety and security considerations a priority in our planning and operations for all new and existing products and processes.
We will continuously strive to use our resources efficiently and minimize waste.
We will comply with all applicable procedures, permits, and regulations.
Sustainability
As a company, and as individual team members, we are passionate about operating with responsibility and integrity. This commitment means a constant focus on sustainable business practices and continuously raising the bar in all areas of Sustainability, such as ongoing greenhouse gas reductions. Sustainable growth is key to our own success – and quite simply, it’s the right thing to do.
Environment
We believe that there’s no conflict between operating profitably and environmental stewardship. As a matter of fact, we believe the two are actually becoming more and more reliant on each other. Businesses that take steps to reduce their environmental footprint are more efficient, have lower costs, and are less reliant on non-sustainable energy sources.
All of our facilities run active waste minimization programs, and we have taken significant steps to reduce our energy and water use, including onsite water treatment and reuse.
Safety
No matter how many safety milestones we reach, we never lose sight of the fact that our safety journey will always be one of continuous improvement. Nothing we do comes before ensuring that everyone on our team goes home safely – each and every day. From small tweaks in our processes, to larger safety projects, to valuable employee suggestions – we push further on this journey thanks to the commitment and efforts of everyone on the team.
And that commitment extends well outside our Monument property lines. We value our partnerships with local Emergency Responders, and our highly-trained personnel are often called upon to support the local community when needed.
Community Outreach
Part of being a good neighbor is supporting communities through local giving and outreach. Our grants focus on education for youth – particularly in the sciences – as well as a wide range of community events and enrichment programs. Volunteerism is woven deeply into the fabric of our culture. From serving as science fair coaches and judges, to running successful food drives to combat hunger, to neighborhood cleanups, we encourage our employees to seek activities that match their interests.
