  • 11. Factors Driving Change? From new technology to customer expectations, Brakebush has always strived to be a leader in our industry. Sustainability is no different. As a company, we have evaluated every aspect of our costs to maintain control over them. If there is a better, more efficient and less impactful way to conduct business, we have made those changes and will continue to look at ways to improve.
  • 12. Sustainability Because we feel that its the best way to operate a business and our responsibility to the community, most of our sustainability initiatives have been in place in one form or another since the time when green was known only as a color. We are in a rural setting and in a small community that is part of a small county in Wisconsin. So, we have always known that it is our responsibility to generate a small environmental impact while creating a positive impact on our community. We have strived to be a leader in every aspect of our business and an example in our community.
