Sustainability Through Kindness

How We Work With Purpose

Ever since Blue Heron Environmental Services was created in 2011, what we do and how we do it has been guided by respect for, and kindness towards, the places we work and the people we work with, and protecting natural resources while delivering value and efficiency on contracts.

We put our values into practice by supporting local businesses through volunteering, donations, or by patronizing the little sandwich shop in the nearest town closest to the project location.  Values become more powerful when shared. We are lucky to live and work in one of the most beautiful areas of the country and are committed to preserving its natural environment and minimize negative impacts as much as we can. Ways in which we do this include:

Remote Efficiency

We intentionally reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for daily office commutes and centralized office utilities. By working from home or at nearby coffee shops, we significantly cut down on transportation emissions and energy consumption, while also promoting work-life balance and flexibility.

Reusable Habits

To reduce disposable waste, we promote a strong culture of reuse by encouraging the daily use of refillable water bottles and non-disposable dishware. We provide these items to team members when needed, ensuring that sustainable practices are convenient, consistent, and easy to adopt across all projects.

Plastic Reduction

We are committed to phasing out single-use plastics and disposable paper products across all areas of our operations. This includes everything from office supplies to on-site project materials, helping to decrease landfill waste and environmental pollution linked to short-lived consumables.

Minimal Printing

Our team embraces a digital-first workflow to cut down on unnecessary paper use. When printing is absolutely required, we use recycled printer cartridges and responsibly sourced paper, always prioritizing electronic alternatives to maintain an environmentally conscious approach in our daily operations.

Waste Management

We continuously strive to avoid waste generation by making thoughtful choices around materials, packaging, and daily operations. When waste is unavoidable, we focus on proper sorting and recycling methods to ensure minimal environmental impact and promote a cleaner, more responsible work culture.
