Culture & Values

Fun, accuracy, teamwork, creativity, accountability, trust, savvy, advocacy, and willingness. These core values guide the work of each EnviroMedia team member.

We like what we do, and we like that our work makes a difference. You’ll find we’re serious about our jobs, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We champion our values in our own workplace. Our newly remodeled, 18,000-square-foot office space incorporates green building materials, including carpet made with recycled plastic bottles, low-VOC paint, wallboard made with recycled and reclaimed content, steel framing, cork floors, and office furniture and cabinetry made with a high percentage of recycled materials and environmentally friendlier sealants and adhesives. We recycle and compost religiously. We insist on recycled-content paper and materials whenever possible. Even our company car is a hybrid.

When we can’t shrink our footprint any more through hard work and conscious consumer choice, we offset 100 percent of our estimated annual carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by buying Green e-Energy-certified RECs and Climate Action Reserve-certified carbon offsets.

That’s like:

  • Taking approximately 190 cars off the road for one year
  • The amount of CO₂ absorbed by over 125,000 trees in one year
  • 1,670 houses turning off all their lights for one year
  • Recycling more than 5 million aluminum cans
