EarthLIGHT reflects our belief that it is our responsibility to help lighten our impact on the Earth in ways that benefit our company, associates, customers and communities.

EarthLIGHT is also about driving our culture around a common purpose of continuous improvement. It is key to our efforts to attract, develop and retain an engaged, connected and inspired workforce — all while operating with a focus on honesty and integrity.
