We know from experience that the community plays a key role in our success. Our responsibility goes beyond job retention and creation. It’s important that the jobs we provide are safe, that they pay living wages, and that they are secure.
It’s also important to us and to the community that our employees have access to the education and manufacturing experience needed to be successful at work. Our focus on education and increasing the jobs skills of our employees extends to the community we work in. Mint Valley seeks to be actively involved in local government, and in education opportunities and in the community organizations that enrich the livability of our region. It is also important to us to be accessible to address any questions and concerns the community might have. Being involved will help us be aware of issues and address them as quickly as possible.
Sustainability
At Mint Valley, we acknowledge that the current ways of producing and transporting paper products at most facilities could be better, a lot better.
Mint Valley is dedicated to the continual improvement of our processes. We are dedicated to reducing waste to a bare minimum. We are currently seeking new, revolutionary ways of reducing our carbon footprint.
Our locations will be a major aspect of our company’s sustainability. By partnering with local suppliers of wood, using the best possible production practices and being near our customers, we can supply product in a more timely, reliable, and efficient manner. This also gives us an economic advantage.
Future-proof
We have thought about the long term and we consider the Mint Valley Paper model to be future-proof. This means that we believe our company will be successful in the three ways that matter:economically, environmentally, and socially.
We have incorporated this triple bottom line accounting into our business model as a way to measure our performance. While it is important that a company be economically viable, we also know that social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and long term commitment to our community form the basis of true, long-lasting business success.
