Why Verde is Green
There are many different shades of green. The Verde green might be a completely different shade than yours, but you have to start somewhere! We have our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), as well as our “Buy Local” and “Community Service” policies in place. These are important to us as a green fulfillment company and as individuals. We’re more than happy to share what we’re doing, how we did it and where we’re going in the future.
Here is a partial list of other things we are doing to show our
commitment to the environment and local community:
1. The only paper produced in the office is packing slips, and it’s on recycled paper
2. Electronic order transfers internally and externally, no paper

5. Use only new recycled boxes
6. Purchase wind power through Idaho Power Green Power Program
