Green Initiative

At Com-Pak we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. We are reducing our carbon footprint by strictly enforcing the following conservation measures, and we are always looking for additional ways to save our natural resources. We are a recognized participant in the DMA Green 15 Pledge for Marketers, which is a public recognition program that asks marketers to pledge that their organizations are taking certain steps throughout the direct marketing process to improve their environmental footprints and “triple bottom-line” (profit, planet and people) performance.
