Environment
Bush is committed to operating our plants and facilities in complete compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and to operating in a manner that protects and improves the quality of our environment. We are committed to strive for a goal of zero waste generation to all media – land, air water – which can be achieved by continual improvement in all our operations. This goal will guide the conduct of our manufacturing operations, the development of new products, and our interaction with suppliers and customers. Recycling of materials is an integral part of this ongoing effort. We are committed to encouraging our families, our employees, and our communities through education and leadership, to conserve our natural resources and to protect and improve the environment in our daily lives. All Bush employees are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with this policy, which includes not only being in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements but also participating in efforts to improve the environment. This includes the increasingly efficient use of raw resources such as raw materials, energy and water.
Bush is dedicated to a long-term sustainability commitment by charting our growth and improvements year after year. We remain mindful of our world and our journey along the pathway to a respectful presence on this earth.
