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.

Food for Thought: Fuel for the Targa Team

You know that old saying, “An office that eats together, stays together” Well, maybe it’s a bit of a stretch, but there’s something undeniably special about sharing a meal. Here at Targa, we’re all about making sure our fantastic team is not just working hard but also feeling their absolute best, and that’s where our weekly office lunch comes in. Around here, we take our food seriously because we believe that a well-fed team is a happy and productive one.

Boost Morale and Team Spirit:

Offering delicious meals at work goes beyond satisfying hunger, it cultivates a genuine sense of community and camaraderie, nurturing positive connections among our team members. It’s a straightforward gesture that not only lifts spirits but also weaves a tighter, more closely-knit workforce. Whether it’s celebrating a birthday, half-birthday, or any special occasion, we make it personal by letting the honored individual choose the restaurant, turning it into a small celebration.

Productivity

Ever notice how a rumbling stomach can easily lead to a distracted mind? We get it. That’s why we believe in more than just work-we believe in fueling our team with the goodness they need. When nourishing meals are just a step away, it transforms our workplace into an environment of focus and energy.

No need to search for food; we’ve streamlined it, making the most of our work hours and boosting productivity. We understand that variety is important, so we keep a range of snacks within arm’s reach-from wholesome trail mix to a bit (a lot) of chocolate, and the occasional donut. On extra special days, you might just find the spicy aroma of homemade cookies filling the air. It’s the little things that make our workdays not just productive, but downright enjoyable.

Well-Being:

Encouraging healthy eating habits isn’t just about what’s on the plate; it’s
about fostering a culture of vitality. By offering nourishing meals at work, we aim to cultivate habits that transcend the lunch table. A team that embraces nutritious choices is a team that radiates alertness, engagement, and resilience qualities that seamlessly contribute to a positive and uplifting work Environment. Our commitment to ensuring everyone is prepared and ready to tackle the day is reflected in our consideration of food sensitivities, allergies, and individualized nutrition plans.

At our table, there’s always something to suit everyone’s taste and dietary needs. Sharing great meals goes beyond our amazing team; we extend it to our clients as well. We are constantly on the lookout, planning the next client visit and outing. So, whether you find yourself in our neck of the woods or we’re in yours, please know you will always have a seat at our table.
