 the sustainable operation of our facilities.

Clean Harbors makes fleet energy management a key focus, beginning with ongoing routing reviews by our logistics team to reduce total miles driven. We also evaluate options for reducing fuel costs including routine use of rail and barge transportation, implementation of alternative fuel vehicles and using our Kleen+ and Performance Plus® re-refined engine oils throughout our fleet. 

All of these items above exemplify how we, as a company, are working to minimize our footprint on the environment; however, our environmental commitment extends beyond our internal focus to how we can help other companies minimize their environmental footprint and achieve their sustainability goals. The core of our operations is to provide our customers with environmentally responsible solutions, whether they be our commitment to environmentally conscious services and waste disposal or our re-refined oil offerings. 

Supply Chain

We believe in holding ourselves to high standards for sustainability and human rights practices and have taken efforts to drive sustainable practices through rigorous supply chain oversight. We monitor for practices that are not in line with our corporate vision and work to drive change. We have established and published our Vendor Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covering treatment of workers, supply chain practices, workplace safety, environmental impact and ethical business practices. 

Community Engagement

Clean Harbors prides itself on being an important member of the communities in which we operate, dedicating ourselves to assisting industry customers with safely disposing of their waste and protecting the environment for today and future generations. We understand that the success of our enterprise is intertwined with the prosperity of the communities in which we operate. Our endeavors have spanned collaborative partnerships with local organizations, active involvement in community events and the mobilization of our employees for regional volunteer efforts. One of our most significant programs is our Household Hazardous Waste collection events we hold at our facilities across the country every year. We invite community members to bring their paints, solvents, batteries, fluorescent lamps, pesticides, cleaners and other hazardous materials that otherwise might be improperly disposed of or become dangerous.

Our commitment and our business go hand in hand as we work to provide services and products that complement our customers' sustainability plans and hold ourselves and others accountable to environmental, social and corporate governance standards and best practices.
