Over the past two years, BDSmktg has made an active commitment to better the environment and have encouraged our employees to do the same. We have implemented a variety of environmentally responsible initiatives in an effort to make a positive impact on the environment. BDS has also introduced measures and practices to encourage the success of these initiatives across our agency. A few milestones as of today:
Replaced all lighting at our corporate building with high-efficiency bulbs
Save about 120 trees annually through our Shred-it® paper recycling program
Cut our potential land fill usage in half by reducing our waste bins
Placed recycling bins for bottles and cans throughout the building
Eliminated paper coffee cups by providing reusable mugs to each employee
Encourage each employee to make a conscientious effort to reduce the amount of energy they use each day
