Hobart's Sustainable Manufacturing Initiatives
Proud supporter
of us.
In creating our Sustainable Manufacturing Initiatives, we turned to the individuals who would carry it out, and, in the end, carry on a new way of thinking: Our employees.
Since instituting our plan, Hobart’s family of companies has:
- Created a corporate team and smaller, facility-focused teams to lead the implementation of sustainability into everyday business.
- Offered incentives to encourage employee-led improvements and initiatives.
- Introduced recycling programs for consumer cardboard, paper, aluminum cans and plastic bottles.
- Developed internal communications, including:
- Traulsen’s monthly sustainable newsletter, Coolmunicator.
- A "Think Before You Print" campaign to reduce internal paper usage.
- Encouraged the use of reusable mugs to reduce Styrofoam usage.
- Switched to recycled waste-paper products.
- Begun soliciting sustainability ideas and help from vendors and suppliers and, in the process, started a micro community of sustainability-focused companies.
