Responsible stewardship of natural resources
Efficient energy use
Minimization and utilization of waste
Prevention of pollution with appropriate, practical and proven technology
Protection of the health and safety of employees, customers and the communities in which we operate

- responsible stewardship of natural resources, employing practices which nurture and protect healthy and productive forests while enhancing air, water, wild-life and other public values;
- reducing dependence upon non-renewable fossil fuel and purchased electricity by pursuing energy conservation and use of self-generated and waste fuels;
- minimizing and utilizing waste by reusing and recycling materials and converting other waste to energy;
