Our Commitment to Sustainability
Although Freedom Merchants doesn’t manufacture a product, we can still make a big difference in our footprint. The daily habits and choices we make on a day-to-day basis impact many aspects of our work environment. Who we choose to partner with and buy from allows us to directly support and benefit other companies with the same purposeful mindset. Take a look at our Green Chart below.
| Category | How We Do Our Part |
|---|---|
| Eating Habits | All company staff choose not to eat red-meat during working hours. |
| Energy Use | Make our energy usage carbon-neutral and we always use natural light and ventilation whenever we can. |
| Office Supplies | Buy from local suppliers. 100% recycled, refillable, reusable and environmentally safe products are prioritized. |
| Printing Company | We print very infrequently, always using most efficient ink cartridges that always are recycled. |
| Plastic Bags | Company has a strict "No Plastic Bags" policy for any Food carry-out, office-products or any other situation. |
| Trash and Recycling | While we rarely buy anything, when we do we choose products that can be recycled. Toner cartridges are refilled by local, green certified stores. Electronics, computers, light bulbs and batteries are all handled responsibly. |
