The BESC is committed to protect the environment and the community in which we conduct our activities. It is our policy to seek continual and sustainable improvement throughout our activities and operations to lessen our impact on the local and global environment by conserving energy, water and other natural resources; reducing waste generation; recycling and reducing our use of toxic materials. We are committed to environmental excellence and pollution prevention, meeting or exceeding all environmental regulatory requirements, and to purchase products which have greater recycled content with lower toxicity and packaging, which in turn reduces the use of natural resources.
