At RES, we have a healthy respect for our environment. Which is why we have always built common sense and green practices into everything we do. But being environmentally responsible isn't just good for the community and the planet - its good business. For our efforts, we have received numerous environmental awards, but we don't stop there. We constantly refine our processes to improve our power and resource efficiency, reduce and recycle wastes, and help us to operate more productively.
Efficiency and sustainability is key to everything we do.
- Our power conservation efforts have saved more than 4,000,000 kWh of electricity.
- We've increased our chilled water plant and cooling efficiency, conserving an additional 250,000 kWh of electricity per month.
- Our two chemical-free water treatment systems have eliminated chemical use entirely and reduced our water discharged by 80%.
- We recycle 100% of the cardboard, steel, copper, and aluminum we use for construction and other activities. In paper and cardboard recycling alone, it is equivalent to 36+ mature trees per year.
- We recycle 100% of our lead acid batteries, over 700,000 pounds worth, and donate the proceeds to the United States Wolf Refuge.
- We recycle more than 2,000 pounds of electronic waste per year, from both our own company and as a free service to our valued clients.
