Environmental Overview

Our operations strive to minimize our global impact and to operate in a regulatory compliant manner that protects the quality of the environments in the communities in which we work and live.

Our actions today will impact future generations, which is why our goals to reduce energy usage, water usage and waste generated continue as focal areas with annual corporate and facility-specific goals. Resource management is not only a policy statement, but also a critical business objective to ensure long-term viability and success for VPG and the communities in which we work and live.
