Every business practice at Buckman will sustain the health and well-being of people, the financial prosperity of our company and the wholesomeness of the environment on which we all depend. We make this commitment to ensure that future generations can achieve a quality of life that is the same or better than our own. Buckman’s commitment to sustainability is manifested in four areas: the quality of our work, the safety of our people, the support of our communities and the protection of our environment.
Buckman is committed to transparency in our reporting and to continuously improving the processes for sustainability management and performance. We use a cross-functional Corporate Sustainability Project Team for accountability and oversight in the preparation of this report and a management software program to track and oversee our progress toward our stated goals. A Global Operations Sustainability team meets monthly to discuss and share information on projects to reduce energy and water consumption, effluent, and waste. Quantitative data is collected at each operating facility, which allows us to monitor, track, and identify opportunities at both the local and global levels. We use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for sustainability reporting to provide the best possible disclosures based on the nature of our global business and the related risks and opportunities.
Taking bold steps to ensure we remain a long-term, value-oriented, future-focused business.
At Buckman, with more than 78 years in business behind us, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We continuously evaluate and improve our environmental impact by reducing emissions, energy use, water consumption, and waste, to prioritize the safety and well-being of our employees, and empower our customers to enhance their own sustainability efforts through our solutions and services. Our journey is guided by clear metrics and data, ensuring transparency and accountability.
