Environmentally
Responsible

In today’s global market, sustainability is not just a buzzword. Finding alternatives to cut or eliminate waste is the essence of sound business practices. At Lacks, our efforts to achieve new technologies to maintain competitive advantages are balanced with ambitious programs to protect and preserve the environment.

Adhering to the tenets of an Environmental Management System accredited to TS 16949 and ISO 14001 standards, we are continually evaluating our operating programs to decrease the volume of scrap materials and contaminants transported to landfills.

Our green strategies include broadening our operational sustainability to carefully manage our chemicals, materials and processes, with the ultimate goal of protecting the earth by continually reducing waste emissions into the air, land and water.
 

A Safe Place to Work

At Lacks, we also are concerned with protecting our most valuable resource: our people. We have made a strong commitment to employee health and safety programs, and remain proud that the State of Michigan has recognized our efforts, especially in regards to our advances in the area of ergonomics.
 

A Responsible Community Partner

Adopting the ideals of a model corporate citizen, Lacks looks beyond regulatory compliance to pursue a deeper understanding of the role that companies can play in their community. For example, we established a central recycling center to augment our plant-specific recycling efforts, allowing us to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by more than half.

Lacks has also taken an active role in the community through its HAZMAT team. Through software improvements and elaborate computer monitoring and controls, we have reduced contamination risk but our proactive efforts extend even further. We are proud that our HAZMAT team is viewed as a valuable resource by area law enforcement agencies as well as our neighbors.
 

A Leader in Education

Education remains a key component in our overall environmental mission. Employees receive training in hazardous waste and storm-water classes and monthly safety meetings emphasize the importance of recycling. We believe employee stewardship is paramount to our efforts to insure each facility maintains the highest safety standards.
