Environmental Sustainability Program

IBT recognizes the importance of conducting business in an environmentally responsible manner that conserves natural resources and minimizes waste. We pledge a commitment to:

• Adopt sustainable practices and make environmentally responsible operating decisions, including the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle and Energy Conservation policies
• Encourage and help our suppliers and customers work toward similar levels of commitment to environmental stewardship

We believe that adopting sustainable business practices can build employee morale, improve customer loyalty, contribute to a healthy community, and be cost-effective while promoting the well-being of the environment.

Our commitment to being an environmentally responsible company reflects a voluntary pledge with practical and measurable criteria within our operations.
