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.
