Sustainability
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Portland is a green city, and its sustainable ideology has made it one of the nation’s best examples of how to live and do business responsibly. We embrace those values through the products and services we offer.
Sustainable Partners
Products with a smaller footprint
We’re committed to meeting the sustainable demands of our clients. We partner with manufacturers that have significant green business practices, and we look for products with minimal environmental impact that are made using sustainable processes. Many of the top brands we carry have earned recognition for sustainability in both product components and manufacturing techniques.
We Practice What We Preach
A green business, inside and out
Our 185,000-square-foot warehouse uses energy-efficient lighting controlled by motion sensors that shut lights off when nobody is around. We focus on efficiency to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible — watching what we buy, how we use supplies and how we use natural resources.
We run a water-recycling program that captures and reuses water when we wash our vans, trucks and vehicles, and we buy recycled products wherever we can. We try to be an example of how to run a green business, and we take that role seriously.

Easy ways to green your office

ENERGY STAR lighting
Reduce the energy your office uses — ENERGY STAR lights and products make a big difference.
02
LED lighting
LEDs last for years and use a fraction of the electricity — with no bulbs to recycle.

Motion sensors
Forgot the conference-room lights? Sensors stop wasted electricity automatically.
