t Curbell, we celebrate Earth Month the entire month of April as a way to encourage interest and engagement across our company. It’s our opportunity to recognize the efforts of employees and branches, and to inspire others to get involved and learn more about sustainability both inside and outside the company. With locations nationwide, our Sustainability Team relies heavily on branch ambassadors to spearhead projects that resonate with their teams and are good for their local area like a coastal cleanup in San Diego, CA USA, a woodland walk in New England USA or a robotics program donation in Detroit, MI USA.

The ultimate goal of Earth Month is education and engagement. We kickstart each day with ‘Did You Know’ emails, sharing fun facts to encourage deeper exploration. Quizzes based on this information offer employees chances to win gift cards, fostering participation and learning. Another activity is our “Healthy Earth, Healthy You” challenge encouraging employees to participate in activities that are good for the environment and themselves then submit photos. Every image submitted earns an entry to win a gift card. On Earth Day, we distribute a company-wide gift aligned with our annual theme, further helping employees with their own personal sustainability journey.
In April our Environmental Health & Safety team hosts an annual e-waste event in Orchard Park, NY, open to all employees and our local community. We partner with Sunnking to collect electronic waste to be recycled. All proceeds go to local charity ‘Camp Good Days and Special Times’ to aid families touched by cancer.

After all our planning, we are thrilled to see our Earth Month celebration garner enthusiastic support and fuel our ongoing efforts to engage and inspire employees. The ripple effects of our Earth Month initiatives are felt year-round, reinforcing our dedication to sustainability and its positive impact on the planet, our employees, and our community.
Through education, we’ve witnessed our employees embrace sustainability and get involved in new projects throughout the company. Their passion drives initiatives ranging from waste reduction to energy conservation, both in and outside of the workplace. At Curbell, sustainability isn’t just a goal; it’s a shared commitment nurtured through support and encouragement.
