Sound polices are the core elements in growth for sustainable economic <br />values. <br />Current Green Initiatives <br />Carpooling <br />In our quarterly team meetings at the store, we will encourage our staff to carpool. Not only is this good <br />for the environment but it helps keep people accountable to getting to work on time, an added bonus. <br />Recycling <br />We encourage our staff to recycle which is very important to waste reduction which has a huge negative <br />impact on the natural environment. Recycling helps reduce the pollution caused by waste. In addition, it <br />brings benefits to the economy. Recycling creates new business such as transporting, processing and <br />selling recovered materials as well as companies that manufacture and distribute products made with <br />recycled materials. <br />Most recently, Purple Hollistic started a recycling initiative. All employees are required to separate all <br />waste into recycling bins, which are dropped off at a recycling center monthly (or more often as <br />needed). Purple Hollistic employees are also encouraged to re -use whenever possible, and to minimize <br />waste. <br />Purple Hollistic also provides filtered water to its employees to discourage bottled water waste, and <br />uses cloud storage to minimize paper waste. <br />Further, Purple Hollistic plans to look into the feasibility of incentivizing customers to re -use their child - <br />resistant packaging to the extent allowed by laws and regulations in order to minimize packaging waste. <br />Energy Efficiency <br />To improve the health and safety in the workplace and reduce <br />operating costs, energy efficiency is another sustainable practice <br />used in the work place. New energy regulations are appearing °'r <br />rapidly at both the federal and state level and we intend to comply " <br />with those regulations. <br />ergy e(ficianey ` <br />Purple Hollistic has also implemented energy efficient lighting and mprovement 3 <br />appliances.
