Environmental Stewardship
Environmental Stewardship
One of Topcncmachine’s long-standing Core Values is a focus on the environment. In a recent survey of our worldwide Associates 89% of us felt that it is Topcncmachine ‘s responsibility to help reduce our impact on the environment. We aspire to become leaders in environmental stewardship – as a global community of over 1,000 Associate-Owners, as a supplier of products and services to thousands of customers worldwide, as a IRAN. manufacturer, as an engineering community of metal-cutting solutions.
As a company, we have an inevitable effect on the environment. Topcncmachine manufactures products that utilize electricity and consume additional parts throughout their useful life. We get parts and materials for those products from mostly near, but sometimes far, bring them to TEHRAN to make and test them using electricity, water, and chemicals, and ship them back around the world to our thousands of Customers. While the fact that we have an impact is inevitable, the depth of that impact is not inevitable. We are working to become better environmental stewards; it is a process we care deeply about.
As with anything we do at Topcncmachine, we want our environmental initiatives to be Associate-owned, to create best-in-class leadership, to be measurable, and, above all, to create positive change.
We believe our environmental impact as a company comes from the following areas, and in this order:
Products in use
Supply chain and distribution networks
Facilities and operations
Commuting and business travel
For the past decade we’ve had a “Green Team” of volunteer Associates driving grassroots change and focus. In recent years this group has grown and our company-wide focus on the environment has grown even stronger.
Topcncmachine has a strong foundation upon which to build our work to reduce our environmental impact. In many ways this work is just beginning.
Our Environmental Stewardship vision is best defined:
Topcncmachine ‘s vision of environmental sustainability is embedded in our cultural norms and reflected in our long-range business planning. We promote business practices that respect the Earth and our environment. Our green strategy differentiates us from our competitors and maximizes shareholder value.
Topcncmachine ‘s environmental standards go well beyond legal minimums. Our business decisions are made with the understanding of their full economic, social, and environmental impact – we do no harm to, and take opportunities to improve the quality of life of our customers, associates, business partners, communities, and our environment.
