Our Commitment

At Cascadia, our commitment to the environment and community runs deep.

We are always striving to lighten our environmental footprint. For example, we compost our leftover food scraps in a worm bin maintained by our staff, we partnered with building management to install a shower for bicycle commuters, and we reduce paper use through paperless billing, double-sided printing, and reusing one-sided paper. Since 2006, we have analyzed our own carbon footprint annually. In response, we are implementing focused carbon-reduction strategies such as purchasing 100% recycled content paper from a local mill, minimizing business travel when possible, and applying green IT solutions such as power management and server virtualization to reduce our energy consumption.

We embrace approaches that are not only good for the environment, but also benefit our employees. For example, Cascadia offers staff public transit subsidies and supports many employees who work from home on a weekly basis. Our flexible workplace policies have earned us the Alfred P. Sloan Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility award each year since 2007.
