“The [United States] Justice Department estimates it can save $573,000 through fiscal 2010 by setting up its printers and copiers to use both sides of the paper. By emailing some documents instead of printing them out, the Department of Homeland Security will save $318,000.”

ARO Green

ARO and its employees understand that a responsible environmental policy goes beyond common sense. A responsible environmental policy can also increase profitability and / or lower operating costs. ARO is committed to the observance and development of a sound environmental policy at our customer locations.

The potential economic benefits gained by observing sound environmental policies include:

  • Reduced operating costs (general office supplies, paper, electricity, natural gas, other petroleum products, water, and other utilities).
  • Compliance with waste disposal statutes minimize potential legal liabilities (for example, proper disposal of batteries, cell phones, computer hardware, and used toner cartridges).
  • Sustainable brand image of our clients, partners and ARO as a whole.

At ARO we work within the guidelines of our clients' own environmental policies and we have also developed our own corporate environmental policy that can be implemented hand-in-hand with theirs':

  • Comply with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines relating to environmental protection.
  • Continuously update and improve published environmental policies from ARO and our customers.
  • Track and report on-site compliance with environmental protection initiatives promoted by our clients.
  • Guarantee proper handling and care of any hazardous materials that we may come in contact with.
  • Operate our clients' facilities under the most energy efficient management model possible.
  • Recycle materials such as paper, cardboard, aluminum, used office supplies and any other recyclable materials whenever possible.
  • Dispose of all garbage and waste that cannot be recycled in a safe and responsible manner.
  • Educate our employees and clients on reasonable and responsible environmental practices whenever possible.
