In running Semiosis Communications and providing its services I strive to apply, utilize, and promote environmentally friendly and responsible technologies, practices, and materials. We adhere to our Rethink – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – Replenish model of environmental sustainability. Here’s what Semiosis Communications does in applying the model:
- Cover 100% of our electricity needs with green, renewable power (Portland General Electric’s Green Source, utilizing wind and biomass energy sources).
- Maximize the use of online/electronic tools and applications.
- Neutralize the carbon footprint of this website with CO2Stats’ Green Site Certification
- Maximize the use of public transportation and non-polluting transportation options (foot, bicycle) for business. If public transportation or bicycle are unfeasible, use a fuel-efficient vehicle, exceeding the current corporate average fuel economy standard,
- Use Energy Star-rated or otherwise energy-efficient equipment, and reduce energy consumption during use of that equipment.
- Minimize solid waste, recycle the waste we do produce, and compost all our organic waste.
- Minimize the use of office supplies, use recycled paper and other products.
- Apply the principles of sustainable graphic design.
- Promote environmentally-friendly practices among our vendors and suppliers.
In addition to achieving our clients’ marketing goals, our solutions aim to limit or reduce their environmental footprint. We measure our success in environmental protection by our customers’ success in accomplishing their environmental goals.
