Tesco Controls is proud to do its part for the environment by doing business in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable manner. We’ve developed a “Going Green” initiative by setting standards for ourselves, our customers, and our suppliers and we will strive for customer satisfaction as well as our contribution to sustainable development by achieving high environmental quality in products, services, and corporate activities.

We ensure that our metal suppliers provide us with products that include certain amounts of recycled material. Our aluminum sheet metal and stainless steel contains some post-consumer and post-industrial recycled metal. Additionally, any scrap metal generated by the Tesco Controls manufacturing process is recycled.

We ensure that our office supplies are manufactured using recycled material, and our office-generated paper waste is recycled. In fact, in 2008 we recycled over 4600 pounds of office paper, saving 39 trees, 16000 gallons of water, 9440 kilowatt hours of electricity and preventing over 1300 pounds of pollution from being released into the atmosphere.

We require our landscaping and janitorial companies to use environmentally friendly products while they service the Tesco campus, as well as our Southern California office.

In 2007, as part of our continuing improvement plan, we installed energy efficient lighting in the manufacturing area. By doing this, we decreased energy consumption by the lighting load almost 25% and increased illumination by nearly 35%.

In 2008, our manufacturing facility received a reflective roofing surface in order to reduce our heating and cooling costs.

During the manufacturing process, we use “powder coat” paint instead of spray-on products in order to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds such as aldehydes, ketones and light hydrocarbons, preventing them from entering our air and water.

• Tesco is committed to continually investing and engineering innovative ways we can help our environment and community and reducing our carbon footprint and conform to green standards.
