Better communication about environmental issues inside and outside the organization

We know much more about our environmental issues than we did 18 months ago. Consequently we are more articulate in our conversations with other departments, other bureaucratic systems, with the state, with our own regulators, and with our neighbors.

People now have an avenue to bring up environmental issues. There are fewer stigmas in being involved in environmental programs.

We have better communication with our vendors. It’s easier to require them to maintain an environmental focus that is consistent with our policy and our objectives.

One would think government agencies would be in compliance but more often than not they aren’t. State agencies have an ethical obligation to stay on the right side of environmental issues. Public recognition is a crucial factor. There’s a better recognition and fuller understanding of the appeal to voters of reducing environmental liability and the costs associated with it.
