Monument’s commitment to sustainability isn’t anything new.

Monument Teams Take a Step Back to Make Major Progress in Inventory & Expense Control
May 9th, 2023
Our sites are fast-paced. Our work is deadline-driven. The momentum is always moving us forward to the next task and the next deliverable. So it’s not always easy to stop and take a step back — especially when it may mean switching gears and embracing new ways to work. But in a challenging economic climate with so much uncertainty clouding the near future, that pause is exactly the type of proactive move we need.
That was the mentality our teams across Monument sites embraced when low inventory and a soft market raised some red flags in our current spending and operations. It was time to slow down and make some tough decisions — but the efforts and challenges would all be worth it.

May 5th, 2023
A few months ago, a cross-functional team at the Monument Bayport facility spent countless hours together in a conference room working their way through an intensive EcoVadis questionnaire. Led by Rick Caines, they explored and addressed every avenue needed to demonstrate the site’s commitment to sustainable practices in its operations, supply chain, and product offerings.
Thanks to the team’s tenacious approach – and the help of an excellent consultant – Monument Bayport was awarded EcoVadis Bronze status within a month.
We’re purposefully kicking off this sustainability feature with a tangible win. Here’s why…
Houston Team’s Quick Emergency Response Spotlights Impact of Year-Round Efforts
April 12th, 2023
Everyone at Monument knows we live and breathe safety. We talk about it daily. We do training regularly. We look for ways to improve continuously. And every now and then, we're reminded exactly why we focus on safety as much as we do. It’s also in those moments that we realize the only thing as important as emergency prevention — is our response to it.
And that certainly proved true this past March for our Houston team, when a fire ignited on site due to static build up during a routine flushing procedure. While the task was something the team has successfully performed time and time again, the turn of events required them to demonstrate a very different set of skills — and they truly made it count.
