Key Sustainable Actions
Management & Leadership
Adopt an Environmental Policy Statement
Taft’s Environmental Policy Statement sets expectations for our employees with respect to environmental management. This statement expresses our commitment to compliance with all environmental laws and regulations, to prioritizing waste reduction over recycling or disposal of waste and to continual improvement by regularly monitoring our environmental impacts and setting annual goals.
Identify a Sustainability Leader / Create a Sustainability Team
From senior managers to interns, Taft’s “Green Team” meets monthly to identify and monitor all environmental practices in and out of the office. The team develops new ways to make our business as eco-friendly as possible and strives to keep the principle of sustainability at the center of all we do. At our monthly internal meetings, the Green Team shares exciting “green accomplishments” with the rest of our staff to encourage and reinforce sustainable practices throughout our firm.
Waste

Waste Recycling
Taft implements numerous policies and practices to encourage recycling around the office. We have a paper shredder and paper recycling bins around the office to reduce paper waste. Appropriate recycling exists for plastic, cans, ink and toner cartridges as well. Additionally, electronics are properly recycled and disposed of through building management.
Transportation
Support Employee Commuting Options
Taft provides a flexible work environment for employees with the ability to work from home. Working from home minimizes travel and saves miles and gallons of gasoline. To measure the benefits of our work from home policy an office survey was conducted that included each employee's gas mileage, days per week they work from home, and round trip mileage of their commute to and from the office. The results were then calculated to determine miles, gallons of fuel, and money saved on a yearly basis. 029
