Our corporate sustainability strategy, Green@Blue is an all hands, company-wide approach to reduce our environmental impact, catalyze environmental justice, and educate and empower our stakeholders with accurate, accessible information about how our environment impacts our health.
Green@Blue is rooted in our climate action goals.

Our sustainability initiatives include:
Green@Blue Company Gardens
We’re proud to engage our associates in our sustainability efforts through our Green@Blue programs. Each year, more than 150 associates participate in our company gardens, attending garden workshops and harvesting over 5,000 lbs. of produce with help from our community partner, The Trustees.
Bluebikes
As the title sponsor of the Bluebikes, we’re committed to expanding public bike sharing in MetroBoston as a safe and sustainable public transportation option. Since 2018, we’ve doubled the size of the system by adding 200 stations and 4,000 bikes.
Community solar
We support five community solar farms in Hopedale and Mendon. These projects have increased the amount of solar generated power in Massachusetts by 13% and reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 6,300 metric tons, the equivalent of taking 1,300 cars off the road.
