Sponsor Spotlight: Republic Services
The Environmental Trade Mission and Conference™ (ETM 2010™) is delighted to welcome, for the second year in a row, the Title Sponsor for Innovative Waste Manage, Republic Services, Inc. Republic Services provides recycling and solid waste collection, transfer and disposal services in the United States and Puerto Rico. The company’s various operating units, including collection companies, transfer stations, recycling centers and landfills, are focused on providing reliable environmental services and solutions for commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers.
Republic Service’s mission is to provide industry-leading solid waste and environmental services that exceed their customers’ highest expectations. They offer a safe, respectful and rewarding workplace for our employees as we continue to develop a company dedicated to excellence, environmental responsibility, ethical behavior, and increasing shareholder value. They have operational expertise, financial stability, broad experience, an excellent infrastructure with environmentally sound facilities, and a commitment to be the safest company in the business.
Republic Services has developed an effective business plan that specifically calls for communicating with the communities where we are located. Simply stated, they believe that listening to community concerns and considering community recommendations as they operate our divisions and facilities makes good business sense. Further, we think that investing in the local community by directing business to local vendors who can provide items of competitive quality and price is a good practice. They also choose to give priority hiring considerations to qualified people from the local community.
They are fully committed to building and operating our facilities and our vehicles in compliance with all applicable regulations to ensure protection of health and the environment.
Mutually beneficial relationships with the communities they serve are a critical measure of success at Republic Services. They are very proud of the commitments that we have made to be a good neighbor.
According to Jim O’Connor, CEO and chairman of Republic Services, Inc., “Republic Services supports the Environmental Trade Mission and Conference because environmental responsibility is our business. It is not one component, it’s what we do,” He said “We are fully committed to operating our Company to ensure protection of health and the environment.”
We thank Republic Services, Inc for sponsoring The Environmental Trade Mission and Conference for another year. It is because of you and other great sponsors that we are able to bring the world to Atlanta to exchange information and learn about the most innovative sustainable solutions.
