What does this mean for Optimal's clients? "Many clients in our Industry have set goals of being Carbon Neutral by the year 2025 and beyond. This should include their supply chain to require carbon neutral/ negative vendors and contract companies", Doss says. Optimal offers it's clients carbon negative today!
"Just because we are carbon negative doesn't mean we are going to stop pursuing greater levels of sustainability and corporate responsibility," Purser said. "Our company is built on a spirit of questioning the status quo to find new ways to improve, so we want to have plans in place to expand our recycling initiatives, community involvement, safety, and more.
