(An internal report that we are sharing in the spirit of transparency)

Category sustainability earth day

Do your clients, family members or friends ever ask you “What is Czarnowski doing in the area of sustainability?” Now you can answer with confidence and conviction.

Today is Earth Day, and what a great day to share Czarnowski’s first-ever, self-declared, C-level Sustainability Report which was written according to Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) guidelines for sustainable reporting. Phew, what a mouthful. Once you read through it, it’ll all make sense. Feel free to share this report with your clients and cohorts. Here are 10 talking points to bring up when educating folks about sustainability and Czarnowski.

1. This is Czarnowski’s 1st sustainability report but it won’t be the last. Practice makes perfect.....so stay tuned for ongoing developments in this arena.

2. Czarnowski is the first exhibit company to write a GRI sustainability report (page 3).

3. 16% of all energy supplied to our California-based facilities comes from renewable resources (page 10).

4. Definition of sustainability: To meet the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (page 3).

5. Scope of this report includes our main offices in North America: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Pittsburgh and San Francisco

6. Czarnowski-employed automobile commuters produced 4,129 metric tons of CO2 in 2008 driving to and from work. 20,750 pounds is average in the USA for a household total of one person over one year.

7. Each of our main locations has over 50 suppliers within 100 miles (page 15).

8. A list of environmentally-friendly building products is on page 16.

9. A Glossary of Green terms is on page 42.

10. How our steady financial growth and diversified client mix contribute to sustainability is depicted on pages 20 and 21.

We hope this document serves Czarnowski employees and our clients. Sustainability is not about recycling. It is about financial, social AND environmental efforts. The more educated our company is, the better we can serve our clients and thus continue to be leaders in our industry.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to the contents of this report.
