#### Environmental Sustainability
As responsible stewards, we endeavor to protect our environment by minimizing waste, reducing energy consumption, and promoting water conservation. Our work to preserve and protect the environment has led to clean industry certification, recognition by state and federal governments and environmental management system verifications. We have also invested in Environmental, Health and Safety Management Information Systems in order to streamline reporting, increase transparency, improve performance, and leverage system intelligence.

We understand the consequences of waste generation and our responsibility to reduce waste as much as possible, making it a point to establish relationships with suppliers and service providers who operate under a waste management plan. Our everyday strategy to reduce waste includes measure to:

• Safely dispose of hazardous waste products, including PVC, HDPE, film regrind, oil, oil absorbents, antifreeze, and oil filters;

• Appropriately recycle paper, plastic, glass, metal, electronics, and wooden pallets; and

• Establish paperless manufacturing facilities, conserving environmental resources, and increasing operational efficiencies with new digital technologies.

We have initiated conservation and technology upgrade programs to improve energy efficiency at our facilities, including investing more than $1 million to install electric transformers with energy-saving technology, reducing energy consumption by 10 percent. We are also:

• Using a grid-tiered solar system to provide more efficient clean energy and reduce power consumption;

• Incorporating technology such as HVAC environmental controls, compressors, plant boilers, and cooling towers with more energy-efficient products; and

• Replacing traditional incandescent lighting with energy-efficient lighting solutions, including installing automatic lighting sensors in offices and conference rooms and implementing building designs to take advantage of natural light.

We have invested in water sustainability programs, including a rainwater capture system that uses rainwater in facility cooling and div
