Our Social & Environmental Commitments
We, at BCS Group, strive to be responsible stewards of our planet in every facet of business. In the beginning it was business-as-usual as we followed the industry standard for service delivery. Unfortunately, this included many hours spent on planes and in cars for our systems engineers as all technical aspects of our work was conducted on site across the western hemisphere. On average we, as a company, were averaging well over two hundred thousand miles of air travel, several thousand miles of car travel, and countless hours wasted waiting in airport terminals and at baggage claim on an annual basis. This amounted to our technical staff alone contributing well over two hundred tons of carbon dioxide every year into our already overburdened atmosphere not to mention the wasted paper involved in printing tickets, itineraries, receipts, contracts, and the inefficiency and waste involved in eating restaurant meals for all three meals per day for most of the year. We were, at the time, offsetting our carbon use through reforestation and sustainable energy projects but we felt a strong need to not only offset what we were producing but to drastically limit our production. It was a problem that needed solving.
