Sunnyland Mills Environmental Policy
It is Sunnyland Mills’ policy to operate its business as a corporate citizen committed to sound environmental management and with concern for the well-being of our environment. Our goal is to ensure that company facilities and operations are in compliance with federal, state and local environmental standards. We believe that an appropriate balance can and should be achieved between environmental goals and economic health. We intend to be a leader in responsible environmental management. This requires each Sunnyland Mills employee to participate in and accept responsibility for achieving the following goals:
- Operation of our facilities in an environmentally sound manner.
- Safe handling of production materials and byproducts.
- Conservation and recycling of raw materials and reduction in the amount of waste generated by the company’s production processes.
The company’s commitment to these goals includes the following specific elements:
- All Sunnyland Mills facilities will operate in an environmentally responsible manner and in compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
- Sunnyland Mills will maintain compliance programs to inform and train team members in the performance of their duty to fulfill the company’s environmental policies.
- Through audits and other means, the company will monitor operations to assure that practices in our workplaces conform to our policies.
- Sunnyland Mills’ management will make environmental responsiveness and resource conservation an integral part of business management, and will support finding sound solutions to such environmental problems as may arise.
- Approximately 40% of our electrical power will be generated by our on-site solar power facility which was completed in 2007.
This statement will enhance the integration of biodiversity conservation principles into our business. We further believe that we are the stewards of our environment and that our environment is a gift from God.
