Why John Roberts

Respecting the Environment – An Ongoing Initiative at JR

At John Roberts, our favorite color is green for one important reason: It represents our corporate commitment to environmental stewardship. Green is far from a fad here; our Environmental Policy, established in the late 1980s, continues to express our values of stewardship and responsibility to the earth and its atmosphere:

JR Environmental Policy

The John Roberts Company is committed to managing all of its operations in an environmentally sound manner

We intend to involve our employees, our suppliers and our customers in the principle that to conduct business at the expense of the environment around us is simply unacceptable.

Through awareness, understanding, education and action, we will minimize our intrusion on the environment.

JR SUSTAINABILITY Policy

John Roberts will continue to advance the philosophy of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” by implementing policies and practices that reduce waste and emissions, conserve energy, water and materials, and lessen our overall environmental impact.

We are committed to maintain and/or exceed regulatory compliance with environmental, health and safety requirements.

John Roberts will promote awareness of our sustainability goals with our employees and our customers and reinforce the value of sustainable printing.

We will share information on our environmental activities and accomplishments as well as collaborate with the community at large in cooperative efforts to provide a healthy regional environment.
