Waste, transportation, and water
Waste management
We are committed to minimizing waste in every part of our business, in every building. In 2023, we recycled 1,310 tons of material across all our U.S. offices, achieving a 74% diversion rate.
Sustainable transportation
Even before employees get to work, we’re trying to reduce their carbon footprint. We’ve organized several commuting options to support sustainable, equitable, and accommodating travel choices including Car and Vanpooling, a Commuter Benefits Plan, Shuttle services, and we’ve installed Electric Vehicle Chargers at our Discover Headquarters.
Water conservation and land use
To reduce water usage, we rely mostly on facilities’ plumbing and landscaping conservation efforts. Measures contributing to water reductions included the use of low-flow fixtures like faucets and flushometers, incorporating native plants that thrive in local climates, and xeriscaping to avoid supplemental irrigation, improving the quality of the landscape over time.
