ifPeople featured partner in P2AD Partnership Program

The Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P²AD) is a non-regulatory division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources that provides free, confidential environmental technical assistance in the areas of pollution prevention to employers across the state.  Understanding that implementing processes and procedures to reduce waste takes time and effort, P2AD has established its Partnership Program to assist and reward those companies who are willing to work to protect Georgia’s environment. Upon acceptance of the application for the partnership program, where ifPeople demonstrated its ongoing committments as well as achievements as a socially and environmentally responsible company, ifPeople became a Yellow Ribbon Partner.

As one of the few service companies in the program, ifPeople is pioneering the sustainable business model for service firms. Our commitment to sustainability of our own company and continuous improvement was featured in the P2AD newsletter released last week ("Winter 2005").
