At RSM, we define stewardship as leaving the world better than we found it, and we recognize that the actions of our people, both personally and professionally, make a significant impact on the environment.
We strive to integrate environmental policies and procedures into the way we do business to minimize our impact on the environment and reduce waste.
We recognize the importance of developing and communicating our environmental impact. Our greenhouse gas inventory, which highlights our material scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, is developed using guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Strategic ecosystems include a much broader set of mutually beneficial relationships that allow us to contribute and derive value on behalf of our firm, clients, colleagues and communities. These relationships enable us to enhance our environmental efforts while deepening our relationships with like-minded businesses.
Through the encouragement of the environmental employee engagement committee and Davenport office leaders, we have changed the way we look at trash and are now proud to be sustainably active in our office and our community. This past fall we held an electronics recycling drive that was a huge success! PCs for People took over 100 pounds of old e-waste and responsibly recycled them. We donated what was still usable to the community to support equal access to technology for low-income families. Being the local environmental office champion has been a very rewarding experience and has opened my eyes to ways that we can better support our planet.
To reduce our use of paper, we moved to an all-digital experience for our annual reports, adding compelling interactive components and making them easily accessible for all stakeholders via our website.
