Davey's commitment to reduce its environmental impact and deliver on its Smart Growth
strategy is on track. Our Vision 20/20 incorporates environmental and social goals and does
not compromise performance or quality standards.
We view environmental responsibility both as an important component of our corporate
mission and as an opportunity to bring our industry expertise to new sustainable solutions.
We are focused on three emerging business opportunities:
1. Investing in cleaner, more fuel efficient vehicles and heavy equipment. Route optimization
technologies will also contribute to our goal of reducing our carbon emissions and fuel costs
and potentially increasing the life cycle of our equipment.
2. Water is a critical natural resource and element of landscape maintenance, yet water quality
and quantity issues are a recognized concern. Developing innovative solutions and water
stewardship practices will benefit our clients and the environments where we operate.
3. Responsibly managing waste streams and, specifically, wood waste are significant
opportunities to reduce financial and environmental costs associated with disposal and
landfilling and can develop revenue by converting waste into a valuable resource.
Looking to the future, we will continue to devote our efforts to spur efficiency and innovation.
We will build an enduring legacy of environmental performance and stewardship. We will
continue to engage with our stakeholders to achieve smart growth and ensure that our
environmental and quality standards remain second to none. Our future reports will continue
to help us track these changes and communicate our achievements. Davey's journey began
over one century ago; we look forward to the next.
