ESG and Environmental Impact
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are at the forefront of our business strategy. We understand the importance of minimizing our environmental footprint while maximizing positive social impact. One of the key pillars of our ESG commitment is reducing our environmental impact through innovative initiatives.
Recycling Programs and Waste Reduction
In 2023, Hunter Communications implemented comprehensive recycling programs across our three facilities in Oregon. Through these initiatives, we were able to divert an impressive 6.4 metric tons of waste from landfills. By prioritizing recycling and waste reduction, we are actively contributing to the preservation of our planet’s precious resources.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability, we recently upgraded the lighting systems at our Central Point facility to energy-efficient LED fixtures. These upgrades not only reduce our energy consumption but also lower our carbon footprint. We are currently evaluating similar upgrades for our other facilities to further minimize our environmental impact.
