In an effort to promote sustainability and energy efficiency, TEL Systems has implemented the actions listed below, which are a collection of evolving solutions that demonstrate our commitment to preserve and protect the environment.

​

Our implementation of environmental and pollution control best practices is ongoing and integrates environmental concerns and impacts to our decision-making processes and activities.

​

Our sustainability actions listed below are both internal (TEL Systems) and external  (job site and client-based.)

​

• We support your sustainability goals and will offer our assistance where possible in meeting those obligations.

• We apply considerations for alternative materials (reuse and recycled content, renewable) and life-cycle costs (repair and maintenance.) when specifying products for you.

• We are able to offer recycling options.  

• We encourage the purchase of products and services that have the least amount of impact on the environment which include purchasing post-consumer recycled and eco-friendly products.

• Advising our suppliers that we are interested in "green products" and encouraging their input.

• Lighting fixture  and thermostat energy efficiency actions, with centralized control and monitoring. Installation of compact-fluorescent (CFL) lighting throughout TEL Systems offices.

• We ensure the awareness of our employees to understand the environmental and sustainability policy.  Employees are encouraged to turn off lights when not in their office and recycle and/or reuse office supplies.

• We are in the process of replacing electronics with energy-efficient and greener equivalent products (laptops instead of desktops, LED monitors, yellow-label products, etc.)

• Recycle all end-of-life printers, fax machines, monitors, computers, etc.

• Weekly recycling of cardboard, electronics, plastics, etc.  Areas for recycling are identified and labeled.

• Use of 100% recycled paper in office.

• Printed materials about sustainability in employee break room.

• Updating mailing lists regularly to minimize postal waste and using email notifications where possible. 

• Updating marketing materials.  Instead of large plastic binders, we are now using folders and online responses to bids and requests for quotes.

• Replacing company vehicles with more fuel-efficient vehicles and training/advising employees of maintenance expectations and fuel saving driving techniques.

• Provide unboxed deliveries upon customer request; remove products from boxes and take back cartons/packaging upon customer request.

 

We make it our goal to be a partner with you in achieving your environmental and sustainability goals.
