Environmental Management Policy

Effective environmental management is important to CCGI’s vision of responsible business leadership and is one of corporate priorities. We are striving to protect and preserve the environment through raising our environmental performance and efficiency within the conduct of our operations. We are committed to protecting the environment through complete compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and outstanding efficiency in the conduct of our operations. As part of our ongoing efforts, we will:

• Comply with and strive to surpass Federal, State, and local environmental laws and regulations.
• Implement and maintain the Environmental Management System as an important management practice for CCGI operations and activities.
• Seek to minimize the environmental impact of our operations through the efficient use of natural resources, and implement sustainable environmental practices, including the acquisition of bio-based, environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, water-efficient, and recycled-content products.
• Conduct audits to measure environmental performance and establish accountability to correct deficiencies; continuously improve environmental performance through appropriate policies, procedures, training, and recognition of excellence.
• Prepare for emergencies in order to minimize environmental impacts.
• Emphasize pollution prevention, environmentally preferred products, and sustainable business practices with our building managers, contractors, and suppliers; incorporate and enforce appropriate performance clause(s) in contracts with vendors and contractors that specify environmental protection and compliance.
• Serve as a role model and provide leadership for other organizations.
