Earth Day Initiatives for a Sustainable Future
Each year, on April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day, a tradition started in 1970 to commemorate the achievements of the modern environmental movement. The day also raises awareness of the need to protect the Earth’s natural resources. Over the years, Earth Day has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon that we are happy to be a part of.
At Targa we take the environment very seriously. We approach sustainability with a series of ongoing efforts and daily initiatives that are incorporated into our business operations and policies. We firmly believe that even the smallest actions can yield significant results, and it’s through these collective efforts that we strive to effect positive change for our planet.
Greening Our Workspace
In our office, we prioritize achieving as close to zero waste as possible. We utilize compostable alternatives, such as coffee pods and office supplies, when we can. Additionally, the majority of other office items, including paper and cardboard boxes, even e-waste, are recycled.
Through these practices, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint and promote sustainability within our workplace.
Local Support:
We prefer to utilize local vendors, recognizing the dual benefit it brings to our operations and the community. By sourcing goods and services locally, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and logistics, and contribute to a more sustainable business model. Our commitment to local vendors extends beyond environmental considerations, it serves as a tangible expression of our support to the business network in our area, fostering economic resilience and community cohesion.
Beyond supporting local businesses, Targa believes in giving back to causes close to our hearts. Each quarter, we allocate a portion of our funds to make monetary donations to initiatives that resonate with our team, oftentimes these donations go to environmental groups. The contributions frequently extend to supporting local, state and even national organizations.
Share Your Message:
Earth Day provides all of us an opportunity to share our best environmental practices. As products become more sustainably manufactured we are thrilled to craft and amplify our clients’ stories and messages. We love telling the Earth Day story and would be delighted to help you tell yours.
