Small Changes Making a Big Impact This Earth Day — And Every Day

The world is celebrating Earth Day today with community clean ups, parks gatherings, and countless acts of appreciation for this incredible planet on which we exist. 

At HID, we embarked on our Earth-centered mission ten years ago. Realizing that small things can make a big impact when scaled to a global enterprise, we crafted an ambitious sustainability strategy and have been working to refine and exceed it ever since. 

We established science-backed goals to make our products and production as eco-friendly as they are secure, and our efforts are taking flight — as you can see in this video:

Our innovations and offerings help our customers meet their own sustainability goals, but we haven’t stopped there — we’re committed to greening our entire organization. 

We’re designing products featuring: 

• Recyclable packaging
• Low energy consumption
• Less material and production waste
• Sustainably sourced materials

We’ve transformed our facilities with:

• Waste reduction and recycling initiatives
• Emissions management
• Natural & efficient LED lighting
• Green teams

We’re looking at the entire community around our facilities and properties with philanthropic efforts and service programs designed to engage happier, healthier team members everywhere we work. We’re also auditing our supply chains for sustainability, transportation and inventory optimization.
