The Mayline Group understands its responsibility to provide a sustainable environment for our families, our community, our environment, and our company.  We are committed to implementing practices which demonstrate results toward environmental, social and economic sustainability. Our goals are a journey and we are making consistent, measurable progress toward minimizing our environmental impact while maximizing the economic vitality of our company.

Our approach is very pragmatic: do what makes sense environmentally and economically, not for the purpose of winning awards or dramatizing our efforts
