In our first Davey Tree Expert Company (Davey) Corporate Environmental Responsibility
(CER) Report, we brief our readers about the Company's polices and approach to responsible
stewardship. Environmental responsibility initiatives have been integral to the Company since
its founding in 1880. In 2007, a cross-functional CER team formalized Davey's stewardship
and environmental management policies. The progress and momentum of the CER team
informed and catalyzed the creation of this Report.
The aim of this Report, covering the 2012 reporting period, is to establish an open dialogue on
how Davey addresses and continuously improves the sustainability of its business. This is our
first public CER Report; however, we will continue a reporting process to engage with and invite
feedback from our employee owners, clients, suppliers and industry partners.
Davey is committed to upholding CER across the business. We will integrate environmental
considerations into business decisions and client services. We will adhere to stringent operating
standards and continuously improve our professional services. We will inform all Davey employees
about pertinent environmental issues and ensure they remain stewards of the environment.
