The Planet First Council

Our Planet First Council, which has existed in its current form for nearly a decade, continues to be charged with identifying and managing specific environmentally-focused projects. The Council spans departments and aims to engage and educate employees on ESG, for instance through our annual EcoFair. At this event, we typically share information on the company’s conservation and environmental practices and activities. Employees can also learn about energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, and other sustainability topics applicable to their home. Although the EcoFair was suspended during the pandemic, we are excited for its planned re-launch in 2024.
