Protecting Our Greatest Resources - Our Earth and Our People.

Group O recognizes the importance of environmental stewardship and continues to implement policies and actions that support sustainability. We strive to minimize environmental impacts by expanding our knowledge and continuing to commit to programs and policies that support our “making tomorrow better than today” philosophy.

We actively educate and encourage our employees and partner with other organizations to embrace sustainable values. We go well beyond legal and regulatory requirements before we benchmark, measure, and communicate our progress.

Not only does Group O seek to reduce our own carbon footprint, we also support our many clients' sustainability initiatives.
