Green Policy

At S&S we feel it is our responsibility to protect our environment.
Green is a way of life for us. It is not something separate, it is an
integrated part of the way we operate and the way we do
business. We feel that we are environmental stewards that
will help inform and connect our customers to resources and
products to help us all reduce our environmental footprint.


Below are some of the many ways we are working to implement this policy:

S&S Internal and S&S Facilities
• Green Fleet for sales force driving Toyota Prius’ and Ford Escape Hybrids
• Recycling program at all locations
• Energy efficient lighting in all facilities – in December of 2007, the lighting in both Martinez and Fremont was refitted with new low e lighting. In Fremont alone, we have seen a decrease of $1200.00 a month on our utility bill.
• Replaced all old AC units in our Martinez Warehouse with Energy Star AC units
• Reuse of packaging materials and use of corrugated boxes
• We have consolidated shipments, orders and request to go out same day in the same packaging. Less material is used including gas, manpower and packing material.
• Car pooling – employee rewards available
• S&S replaced and updated all of their desktop computers with energy star monitors and computer towers. The old product was sent to e-cycle to keep the old equipment from dumping in landfills and waterways.
• Green overhaul of New Headquarters Building- bottleless filtered water, recycling program, recycled furniture, elimination of lunchroom paper products, all paper products are recycled.
• Quarterly Green Newsletter
• Charter Member of PG&E Green Supply Team
