Good business as a force for positive impact
We believe that long-term value creation and responsible business practices can and should align.
When we are successful, typically hundreds or thousands of jobs are sustained, and a critical sector of the economy is stronger as a result.
When a business prioritizes workforce safety and satisfaction, such a culture accrues to the bottom line in the form of less lost time accidents and employee turnover and a well-trained and experienced workforce that is motivated to share in its success.
When a business focuses on driving operational efficiencies in the form of scrap, energy and other utility reduction, not only do such actions drive cost savings, but they also make for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly partner to the communities in which it operates.
At some point, the idea took hold that bottom-line, profit-driven capitalism is predisposed to be in conflict with the interests of a workforce and the health of our natural resources.
We aim to provide an alternative example. We believe that today, in a world ever more awake to the importance of a healthy and vibrant middle class and a sustainable planet, value creation is only truly enduring if a business takes into account the interests of its workforce and the outside community at-large.
