Operating with Integrity
Operating with integrity means doing things right the first time and every time. It means we earn the trust of our customers, shareholders, business partners, and each other by our actions each day. Honesty. Transparency. Meeting our commitments. Taking care of our people. Demonstrating our shared values. These are all essential elements of operating with integrity and strong governance.
Protecting, preserving, and transforming our world
Acuity continues to seek ways to lessen our carbon footprint. Our operations are now 100% carbon neutral. The determination to reduce carbon emissions for our customers extends to our own operations. And we are decreasing our energy consumption in our offices, production facilities, and distribution centers.
Making offset investments — We have begun to offset our emissions by investing in forestry and landfill gas-to-energy projects that reduce atmospheric carbon. We’re tackling our Scope 1 and 2 emissions head-on with investments that improve the environment.

Creating an environment where the best people come to do their best work
