"We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." –Native American Proverb
One area that Gould takes very seriously is our commitment to sustainability. Without it, we simply wouldn't be here. Responsible environmental stewardship is more than just a Gould policy–it's a part of our very DNA as a company. With that in mind, we have created an environmental platform that focuses on Leadership, Stewardship and Sustainable Development.
Leadership: We are proud of our Tri-Certification: Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Initiative ® and Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes. Gould also promotes responsible forestry management by promoting the use of third-party certified and COC paper products.
Stewardship: Partnering with NativeEnergy, Gould's two high quality carbon offset initiatives provide more than 1,400 metric tons of carbon offset to replenish energy and counterbalance emissions.
Sustainable Development: Gould is guided by–and strictly adheres to–the principles of waste hierarchy: Prevention, minimization, reuse, recycling, energy recovery and disposal.
